As suggested by our former SJRC Advisory Board member, Amanda Stow, we would like to share Ibram X. Kendi's anti-racist reading list. Kendi writes "This anti-racist syllabus is for people realizing they were never taught how to be anti-racist. How to treat all the racial groups as equals. How to look at the racial inequity all around and look for the racist policies producing it, and the racist ideas veiling it. This list is for people beginning their anti-racist journey."
The SJRC office houses a small library of magazines, journals, books and DVDs on topics related to social justice. To borrow one or more of the items, please contact the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at diversity@uwyo.edu
