Resisting Racism

From Civil Rights to Black Lives Matter
April 15, 2016 - August 1, 2016
| Robert W. Woodruff Library
- Level 10
- Rose Library

Students in Donna Troka's class "Resisting Racism: From Black is Beautiful to Black Lives Matter" created this exhibit based on archival research in the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library.

The American Studies class of 19 students represents a variety of disciplines, including business, sociology, history and women’s studies. The students formed six groups to work on topics such as policing, education, protest tactics, white supremacy/white privilege, gender/sex and respectability politics, and health. Their work resulted in this exhibit, with the students selecting the displayed materials with assistance from Gabrielle Dudley, Rose Library instruction archivist and QEP librarian.
