Our support group got a phone call yesterday from an organization called
Teaching Tolerance, and they interviewed the leader about the diversity
of our group for an article she is writing. We don't know how she got
ahold of us, but I believe it was from our website, which contains our
mission statement, which is a statement about diversity.

Anyway, this woman was asking about homeschooling resources about
diversity, specifically. All that we could come up with off the top of
our heads were some of the doll-making catalogs that many of the
unschoolers in our group use. I remembered The Drinking Gourd, but I
could not recall the woman's name (even though I met her in Dallas!),
and we weren't sure if she was still in business.

Does anyone know of any other resources we could send to this woman for
her article?

Her name is Donna Nichols-White. I did a quick google on her, and found
this:

I asked this of an African-American homeschooler a while ago and she
suggested AfricanAmerhomschler at Yahoo groups.

I talked to someone for a long time and for various reasons it didn't seem to
me to be a useful thing for unschoolers. Perhaps it involves my prejudice
against myopic New Yorkers; maybe not.

Referring her to Donna's probably the best idea.
