What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Coates's attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son.
This guide is meant to be a resource for the Salem community as we work to understand the history of racism, how it continues to impact our campus, how white folks can stand in solidarity with communities of color, and how we can take steps to work to dismantle white supremacy. Please watch as it will continue to grow over time to address specific sub-topics. We see this as a community effort, so please reach with other resources that might be useful. And please don't hesitate to reach out with any corrections or suggestions. In either case, just SEND AN EMAIL.
Thank you to Libby Coyner for permission to base this guide off the Anti-Racism Resources guide from Elon University.
