GMU Libraries has published a new resource guide on Anti-Racism, #BlackLivesMatter, and Civic Action. The purpose of this guide is to provide general information and research resources on anti-Black racism, anti-racist learning and practice, the Black Lives Matter movement, and related activist movements. The guide is being developed by librarians and staff, with input from members of the Mason community. The Libraries offers this guide as a starting point, not an exhaustive set of resources, which we will continue to update with relevant items. GMU Libraries welcome community recommendations via the Suggestions box located within the guide.
