White Privilege

[close] This group is for all educators actively attempting to be anti-racists in and out of the classroom. It is for all educators attempting to decenter whiteness in classrooms. It is for all educators that value celebrating varying culture and identity! It is for the social studies teachers that teach #hardhistory. It is for the ELA teachers that value #ownvoices novels. In short, it is for all of us seeking to be better advocates, disruptors, and anti-racists.

[close] "For many people, myself included, books are one of the few places where we can safely challenge our own thinking, learned behavior, and ideologies..." — Justin Baldoni This "group," launched in 2014, is actually a constantly-updated reading list. Click Bookshelf to see the long list of topics. Everyone is welcome. People who identify as white and are rather new to thinking about racial justice are invited to start with the "Beginners" shelf. This group focuses on U.S. nonfiction. We also recommend Literary Fiction by People of Color, a longstanding Goodreads group. Curated by Faith Reidenbach, a queer white woman. Feel free to message me.
