Resources on Race, Anti-Racism, and the Black Experience in America

Resources on Race, Anti-Racism, and the Black Experience in America As an English Department at Wissahickon High School, we see what is happening in the world and feel compelled to respond. To that end, we have compiled a list of resources to expand understanding and empathy for what it means to be a black person in America. By no means is this list complete, but it is a starting point for a conversation and a powerful journey to peace, understanding, and reconciliation.
