The guide contains resources to assist instructors in the classroom, as well as resources covering issues at the intersection of race and higher education. The guide also presents a variety of resources aimed at a general audience interested in learning more about topics including history, theory, Black feminism, first person narratives, and public health. 

This guide is presented in partnership with the NDSU Anti-Racism Coalition.
