Chapter 94: Diversity In Harry Potter

Sam & Emily are back after a week of muting in order to uplift the Black Lives Matter movement. In an effort to keep the important conversation of diversity and race going, this week HP Half-Drunk is joined by the creators of Gray Matters. The four girls discuss how race is portrayed in the series and beyond, and also what steps we can take in the future to be better. 

Check out some of these helpful resources to continue your education on these matters. 

1) A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn

2) White Rage by Carol Anderson 

3) Colonize This (new edition) Edited by Daisy Hernandez and Bushra Rehman
