NOTES
"The original edition was published in Canada for worldwide distribution by Gail K. Picco / Civil Sector Press, 2020."
"Collecting Courage: Joy, Pain, Freedom, Love is a collection of 15 first-person narratives shared by accomplished Black fundraisers and equity, racial and social justice advocates, documenting their experiences confronting and surviving racism working in charitable and philanthropic spaces across North America. With searing and intimate detail, they write about their experiences with anti-Black racism: from coping with being last hired, first fired, overlooked for promotion to outright hostility in toxic workplaces. Their testimonies chip away at the idea of the inherent goodness of the charitable sector and give voice to a more accurate and complete picture of philanthropy and charity as it stands today"--Page 4 of cover
