Woah, woah, woah! If you haven’t checked out the first section of our anti-racist resource guide, please peep here. As all the same rules apply to the original anti-racist guide we began last year. The linked books are to Black-owned bookstores throughout the US. If you are buying one of these books, PLEASE support any of the bookstores linked below. And again, this list is nowhere near exhaustive of the amazing media dedicated to showcasing the Black experience. These guides will not undo racism or fix systemic oppression, but are about learning REAL history and beginning to unlearn your innate biases.
