"In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist." -- Angela Y. Davis
"An antiracist is someone who is supporting an antiracist policy through their actions or expressing antiracist ideas. This includes the expression or ideas that racial groups are equals and do not need developing, and supporting policies that reduce racial inequality."
- Ibram X. Kendi, How to be an Antiracist
Racist: "One who is supporting a racist policy through their actions or interaction or expressing a racist idea."
- Ibram X. Kendi, How to be an Antiracist
This guide recognizes and gratefully appreciates the ongoing work done by anti-racism activists and librarians, including former Highline College Reference Librarian Sam Sermeno, the Seattle Public Library, and Dr. Nicole A.
