Great Reads For Building Your Anti-Racist Knowledge

These are just a few of the books I recommend  you read to gain insight to the questions raised in  Understanding What It Means To Be White And Privileged Journal.

So often I hear people say they don't have any friends of color so they don't know where to turn to learn more about race and privilege. These books are all from white authors, which again emphasizes the numerous resources available as you begin your journey. In the near future I will contiue to add important books from a wide spectrum of authors that will take you deeper into you journey.
