Anti-Racism and Discrimination Resources

This is a list of resources on how you can sustainably support the Black community through continuous self-education on anti-racism. 

Read

 

Knowledge is power and reading a book is one of the most important tools in self-education. Books help us understand subjects we know little to nothing about. It is one of the many ways we can open our eyes to the reality of the history of the United States. Here are some book recommendations and articles to read to learn more. These are a few of many book titles discussing this topic. We urge you to continue reading on this subject beyond this book list and continue self-educating yourselves:

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisis Coates

How to be an Antiracist by Ibram X Kendi

Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor by Layla F. Saad

So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo

Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander

The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Greatest Migration by Isabel Wilkerson

White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson

Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria: And Other Conversations About Race by Beverly Daniel Tatum

The Bezos of Black Wallstreet

The Case for Reparations 

A Forgotten History of how the United States Government Segregated America

 

Listen

 

A crucial component in being an ally is listening with the intent of understanding and learning. It is our responsibility to take initiative in educating ourselves and in turn, educating those around us who are unaware. If we want to dismantle racism and be antiracist, we must learn about the deep-rooted history of oppression and discrimination in the United States and the present day issues. Here are five podcast recommendations to get you started:

1619 — A podcast from The New York Times addressing the beginning of American slavery and how slavery transformed America.

Brené Brown with Ibram X. Kendi on How to Be an Antiracist — Brené Brown speaks with Professor Ibram X. Kendi, New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist and the Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University. They discuss racial disparities, policy, and equality, and focus on How to Be an Antiracist, a groundbreaking approach to understanding uprooting racism and inequality in our society and in ourselves.

Momentum: A Race Forward Podcast — Featuring movement voices, stories, and strategies for racial justice. Co-hosts Chevon and Hiba give their unique takes on race and pop culture, and uplift narratives of hope, struggle, and joy, as we continue to build the momentum needed to advance racial justice in our policies, institutions, and culture. Build on your racial justice lens and get inspired to drive action by learning from organizational leaders and community activists.

Scene on Radio: Seeing White — A 14-part series exploring whiteness in America, where it came from, what it means, and how it works.

Code Switch — The fearless conversations about race that you’ve been waiting for. Hosted by journalists of color, the podcast tackles the subject of race head-on. We explore how it impacts every part of society—from politics and pop culture to history, sports, and everything in between. This podcast makes ALL OF US part of the conversation—because we’re all part of the story.

 

How to Talk to Your Kids About Racism

 

Addressing race, racism, and the current protests can be a difficult topic to talk about with your children. However, these conversations are important in order for children to understand what is happening and why. Here are resources on how to navigate the conversation:

How to Have This Discussion

Anti-Racism for Kids: An Age-by-Age Guide to Fighting Hate

How to Talk to Kids about Race and Racism

Books for Children

31 Children’s books to support conversations on race, racism, and resistance

Coretta Scott King Book Award Winners — Awards are given to outstanding African American authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults that demonstrate an appreciation of African American culture and universal human values.

CRU Success Stories

  • cru-resident-testimonial-addy
    “The CRU is a positive safe haven. It is welcoming, I love to call it my home. Maile’s office is relaxing she is open, nonjudgmental and positive and helps others and does things for people when they can’t do it themselves. She’s taught me to turn my weakness into strength.”
    Addy, Former CRU Resident

    “Most beneficial thing is that the CRU has given me a safe place to spend more concentrated time with difficult feelings of trauma that I couldn’t process outside of these walls. Having a regular clinician available and people on the floor to talk to less formally has been helpful.”
    Garrett, Former CRU Resident

    "The groups were especially great here. I learned a lot. I met a lot of diverse people and was made to feel safe, welcome, and like I mattered by both staff and the other clients during my stay. I really am taking away a lot from this program. Thank you for the groups, and your support."
