A compilation of anti-racism resources for the Salem State University community
"In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist." - Dr. Angela Y. Davis
The following is a compilation of resources on anti-racism, abridged to be available publicly for the entire Salem State University community.
As we continue to share our support for the Black Lives Matter movement, Salem State members are invited to use, practice, share, and participate in these resources to critically examine and heal our selves, our communities, and our institutions towards the goal of dismantling systemic racism. Thank you for your action.
