Abstract
Abstract The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries created a 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge to encourage library staff to make critical connections between racism and equity and the work of libraries and archives. Participants engaged with one or more resources each day in this habit-forming challenge with library-wide discussions and racial identity caucusing augmenting the Challenge. In this brief article, two creators of the Challenge reflect on the development and implementation process and plans for a future iteration.
