Did you know that the best communities for running in the US have a population that is predominantly White? It’s no coincidence that these places also have some of the safest streets, cleanest air, and the best lighting in the country, says Alison Mariella Désir, founder of Harlem Run and Run 4 All Women. In a new Author Talks interview, she shares her personal experience with the systemic inequities facing Black runners and explains what it means to move through space as a Black person in America. As Désir notes, “There’s nothing micro about these aggressions.” Be sure to give it a read. And for insights on Black Americans’ experience in the US workplace, check out this article by Bryan Hancock, James Manyika, Monne Williams, and Lareina Yee.
