Peggy McIntosh is an American feminist, anti-racism activist, and scholar who wrote about the invisible nature of the systems of white privilege in 1989. This tool presents an excerpt of McIntosh's article, her tool for analyzing accumulated racial privilege, and an 'Intersectional Remix' addendum created by The Health Equity Collective to add current day reflections of intersectionality and positionality.
