I detail a series of steps that have been taken by many groups and individuals in schools, business and public agencies to combat racial typecasting. I add to that more steps that can be taken to confront the problem. <br />I owe a debt of gratitude to the young men and women who formed Black Lives Matter and rammed the issue of police violence and its bedrock in racial stereotypes and fears on the nation’s table.
