I am  thrilled to  re-release  our  YWCA Magazine  Special  Issue  on  Racism, originally published in June of 1968! We regularly peruse the YWCA Archives, and I will admit  to  being  slightly  obsessed.  But when we  poured  through decades of YWCA Magazine in the archives now housed  physically  at  Smith  College  and  accessible  to  all  now  digitally, I knew instantly I wanted  to  share  this  edition with you — so you could see yourself in the reflection and be inspired.
