This is a list of resources intended to encourage white people to learn about antiracism, racism, history, and racial justice. It does not represent one voice. No matter where we are in the journey of checking our privilege and unlearning harmful behaviors and attitudes, we can always learn more. When I use the words “I/We” I am speaking as a white person to white people. This list highlights a few I have been coming across on my own learning and unlearning path, but we encourage others to continue researching due to the fact there are many resources and voices out there. The resources section contains links to other lists like this one. This list and others may be overwhelming at first, but it has been suggested by many to take it in chunks. This is an ongoing process!
