The last week has put the United States at an intersection of two pandemics: the coronavirus and racism. We recognize the clear need for values-driven leadership in both circumstances.

In today’s Rising to the Challenge post, we’re shifting our focus from how leaders are responding to the coronavirus, to how they can confront racism. Earlier today, we posted our latest column at Forbes.com, Confronting Racism: Five Must-Read Articles for Every Business Leader. We encourage you to visit the post and read the articles in the order they are shared–together, they put the current moment in historical context, then point toward clear actions business leaders, especially white business leaders, can take to respond.

If you have articles you recommend, we encourage you to share them at cvdl@ben.edu.
