The library stands in solidarity with the Black community against anti-Black racism. ⁠ . ⁠ . ⁠ . ⁠ U of T Librarians have assembled a reading list of resources available at the Libraries about anti-Black racism and violence in Canada, Black resistance, educating against anti-Black racism, and race and health equity. Link in bio for the reading list. ⁠ . ⁠ . ⁠ This list is not exhaustive, and these categories are not mutually exclusive. We encourage you to continue learning beyond this reading list. ⁠ . ⁠ Although some of the titles are available to read as ebooks, you can also borrow them from the Toronto Public Library or buy them from Black-owned independent booksellers. ⁠ . ⁠ Please note that the compilers of this list are not Black and this initiative is a mark of solidarity in an effort to offer resources to learn.
