These book have helped me to think differently:

Extra Bold: A Feminist, Inclusive, Anti-Racist, Nonbinary Field Guide for Graphic Designers

by Ellen Lupton and Jennifer Tobias

https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/extra-bold-a-feminist-inclusive-anti-racist-non-binary-field-guide-for-graphic-designers_ellen-lupton_jennifer-tobias/26745095/?resultid=5a198c22-41ae-43a9-b6a6-55df9b5753fb#edition=40945770&idiq=44651867

Such a long title, but it actually does a lot more than the title promises. It includes important voices that explain how to do much better than ADA, people from the deaf community, etc. etc. Essential reading for anyone involved in space planning or design of any kind in museums. It is a series of short, personal essays from many diverse backgrounds that opened my eyes about how design can create and foster equity. Powerful and full of amazing, witty diagrams and illustrations like this one:

Effective Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism Practices for Museums: From the Inside Out
