The purpose of this guide is to provide a collection of resources that directly relate to the history of African-American oppression in the United States by specifically looking at information on liberating movements and ideas. The attempt is to direct attention to positive action/activism. These resources focus primarily on different responses. For example, this guide does not heavily involve US slavery, but does provide information on abolition, an instance where a liberating response to that injustice existed.
Among the resources are book suggestions, websites, primary sources, current and historical activism, multi-media, influential persons of historical interest, and antiquated symbols. The guide is arranged by movements and topics. This guide will provide access to historical resources on various forms African-American activism that will better serve your research and hopefully further support anti-racism discussions, pedagogy, and progress.
