Guide to Source Material for Anti-Racist Activists and Thinkers

Guide to Source Material for Anti-Racist Activists and Thinkers

This guide is a companion website to the Guide to Anti-Racist Books and Resources. While that guide focuses on published books, videos, essays, and tutorial sources, the Guide to Source Material for Anti-Racist Activists and Thinkers, includes a wider array of material, including biographical and autobiographical sources, obituaries, writings, archival videos and texts, documentary films, comprehensive archival sites and other websites. 

The guide is arranged by chronological periods. Activists are included in the period in which they had their greatest influence. Listings in each period are organized by date of birth.

In honor of James Lawson, who died on June 9, 2024, we are pleased to post a page of resources dedicated to him.

This guide is still being constructed. Please use the navigation buttons on the left to browse and explore the activists and thinkers that we have included in the Guide so far.
