“Reading does not make one an anti-racist, but doing something productive with the knowledge that one gains [from reading] in order to create a more equitable society is anti-racism in action.”

--Candis Watts Smith, professor and author of "Stay Woke: A People's Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter"

 

This guide contains resources related to the Black Lives Matter movement, the history and current state of anti-Black racism in the United States, practicing antiracism, race identity, white privilege, and more. This list is not exhaustive, but it will continue to grow and be updated regularly as relevant titles are added to our collection.
