Shirley brice heath biography of michael jackson
First things first: I did not make this list. I surveyed my white racially-conscious, Latino, and black friends for resources that had helped them understand racial justice issues and compiled their results along with a few recommendations of my own. I was, however, happy to provide suggestions for how to get started with the list at the end.
Second, this list is dedicated to the guy I met at that party who wanted to know more but didnt know where to start. I hope this helps!
And finally, before the list, heres a guide to symbols used:
★ = recommended by several people
* = I have read/seen and second this recommendation
^ = Based on reviews and synopsis looks especially interesting to me
