• Anti-racism Resources from Randall Library's Collection

  Randall Library is committed to addressing systemic racism in our community. One effort we have made is to compile a list of personal reading and teaching resources. Titles may be in both print and electronic formats. We will continue to add titles to this list. If you have a recommended resource you would like the library to purchase, please contact Melissa Raymer, raymerm@uncw.edu.
