Welcome to another issue of TMA News Links, a supplement to The Multiracial Activist Newsletter, transmitting selected news links to the mailing list on a (hopefully more) regular basis, as they are added to the news sections of the website. First launched last Fall, this service is intended to become a weekly news bulletin. Should your email program truncate or distort the urls, these links will also be available at: https://www.multiracial.com/blog/ and https://www.multiracial.com/news.html
The latest news links are available below:
