Because We Should

Below you will find a link to a list of anti-racism resources put together by one of our wonderful humanities teachers. There are books, movies, articles. We can all be better and should all be more educated about the injustices in this country. I hope some of you will find these helpful. I have seen and read some of them myself and they are wonderful. If you want some easier but great ones to start, I recommend reading Malcolm X and watching Selma.
