LEARN

One of the most helpful things we can do to help address racism in our own communities is to self-educate on how racism (particularly anti-Blackness) has impacted our history, present-day systems, and theology.

We’ve compiled a short list of books, podcasts, movies, and curriculums to help get you started in the process of unlearning. This list is in no way exhaustive, but will hopefully help you begin your journey.
