Goosefoot Chooses Renewal, Not Retreat

For almost five years, Goosefoot's Anti-Racism Task Force (ARTF) has been helping to educate our board and staff on both the history and contemporary manifestations of racial discrimination and bigotry in our country. We've shared our journey with you through links and various resources on topics ARTF has delved into and descriptions of what we've learned in workshops and on field trips.
