Combatting Racism: Resources for Action and Education

We are standing at a pivotal moment in history. We each have a choice to make – do we watch on the sidelines, or do we stand up, speak out, march, protest, examine our own beliefs and behaviors, educate ourselves, build bridges across differences, and work for long-term systemic change?

As people of faith, we are called to make the latter choice, not to stand idly by while our neighbor bleeds, but to love our neighbor as ourselves. Many of us, particularly white allies, want to take action, but are not always sure what action to take. We can easily be overwhelmed by the enormity of the task ahead. We have to remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint. As Rev. William Barber likes to remind us, we are building a Movement, not a moment.

​With humility, we would like to offer some thoughts and resources from what we have learned from African American leaders:


  • Anti-racism Resources
  • National Archives - African American History

Black Women and the Right to Vote -  The History You Didn't Learn​

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS THEN AND NOW - 
BLACK POWER AND BLACK LIVES MATTER

Living Black History with Dr. Cornel West | The Mehdi Hasan Show
