AAA reaffirms its commitment to the values of diversity, equity, and human rights. We call on our colleagues to apply their professional research, scholarship, practice, and teaching to overturning the deeply entrenched institutional sources of race-based inequality that are barriers to a more just and sustainable world.
The resources collected below were pulled from various publications, websites, and news outlets. It is our hope that they will provide anthropologists and others with the tools they need to have open and fact-based conversations about race in their communities.
This page will be updated regularly. If you have information you would like to share, please email Jeff Martin using this form.
