The Guide — Anti-Racist Guide (antiracistguide.org)

“This document was created to be used as a resource for anyone looking to broaden their understanding of anti-racism and get involved to combat racism, specifically as it relates to anti-Blackness and police violence. Within this guide, please find a variety of resources to explore practical ways to understand, explain, and solve seemingly intractable problems of racial inequity, white supremacy, police violence, and injustice.”


Anti-racist Resource Guide by Tasha K

"This anti-racist resource guide was crafted amidst the anger of the latest black body turned hashtag #AhmaudArbery. It is consistently being updated to address the current climate of our country and the personal growth needed to sustain this life-long journey. Please note that this document was and will continue to be a group effort...I truly believe that this ongoing work is a journey of empathy and care for humanity, individually and collectively. We must engage if we want to do intentional anti-racism work in our families, our classrooms, our conversations, our meetings, our community, our country, and our world."

Syllabus: A History of Anti-Black Racism in Medicine

"Although the focus of this syllabus is the history of anti-Blackness in American medicine, we are aware that many of the texts are not from historians of medicine. Those scholars’ insights, however, are invaluable to our dissertation research and theoretical approaches. The selection of texts here also reveals the gaps that remain between the histories of medicine and science and Black studies. Though this syllabus is certainly not exhaustive, it lays important groundwork for bridging this gap and illustrating that questions of race and racism should be central to studying the histories of medicine and science. We hope that this syllabus serves not as an endpoint–but as a beginning."


Family-­Care, Community-­Care and Self­-Care Tool Kit: Healing in the Face of Cultural Trauma

This Tool Kit is for us—developed by and for people of African ancestry—­­to comfort and inspire us in these difficult times. It provides resources to help us take care of ourselves and each other, and strengthen our sense of community for the journey ahead.

This moment of crisis is also a moment of great opportunity. The Black community has been through a lot lately. But these events are just the most recent in an ongoing assault on our humanity that began more than 400 years ago in enslavement, with the telling of the poisonous lies of White superiority and Black inferiority. We believe that these lies are the root causes of the devaluing of Black lives and nearly all the other challenges we face as a people. Now is the time to strike at the heart of these lies with all of our might­­by working together to free ourselves, our children, and the world from them once and for all.

Primarily designed for public health students and professionals, this guide can be used by anyone interested in having meaningful discussions about racism and racial equity.


The Lancet: advancing racial equality

“Racism is a public health emergency of global concern. Anti-racism is a struggle all of us must join. We pledge to educate ourselves about racism. We will support Black and minority health workers. We will use the evidence we publish, together with our values, to speak out for Black and minority ethnic communities. We pledge our solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. We will now turn that pledge into concrete actions in our own work.”

— The Lancet antiracism pledge
