Race, race matters, race relations, and all things related to race are not easy conversations to have even with people from the same marginalized groups. As a Black woman librarian, I took care to create this guide in a way that showcases our library resources as well as other resources widely available online that address the wide variety of topics that are presented here. I poured over other guides related to anti-racism. I felt an overwhelming need and responsibility to show how extensively racism permeates the lives of Black people and other racially marginalized groups.
It is my hope that visitors to this guide will peruse the items found here and take time to read, watch a video, listen to a podcast, and evolve. I hope that you see Black people differently and better understand who we are. I urge you to grow in your understanding of history and the impact of racial discrimination on racially marginalized groups throughout the world.
