EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES ON TOPICS REGARDING BLACK LIVES
In order to protest your conscience, you MUST be open to reading and learning more about historical events, social structures, and policies that shape black lives and your own lives. I challenge you to read at least one article from this list and expand your knowledge on black history and systematic disparities that black communities face. This is YOUR chance to actively take steps toward becoming anti-racist and educated enough to challenge stereotypes and assumptions about black people in the United States. Please share this information with family members, friends, peers, colleagues, and mentors because EVERYONE can learn something from this movement.
