On Wed 15 July (1pm) we’re discussing two recent articles responding to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Text (Reading)
- Caroline Randall Williams, “You Want a Confederate Monument? My Body is a Confederate Monument” (New York Times)
- Jessa Crispin, “You Can’t Defeat Racism with Reading Lists” (Guardian)
- BONUS: Liam also suggested this as a companion piece to the Crispin: Lauren Michele Jackson, “What is an Anti-Racist Reading List For?” (Vulture) (Thanks for this suggestion, Liam!)
