Our new Marygrove College Library collection includes several books on Dr. King, as well as the Civil Rights Movement and social justice.
If you’re interested in reading more on the African-American experience, you can also check out the lackGirlBooks collection and the Zora Canon. We’ve created some handy resource guides that buy sales lead include Antiracist & Racial Equality Reading Lists and Racial Equality Books for Kids. Finally, through the Community Webs program, our partners at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture created the #HashtagSyllabusMovement web archive collection, which contains crowdsourced reading lists highlighting social justice issues within the Black community—a great place to start if you’re looking for antiracist reading material!
