Understanding American Anti-Black Violence and Racism

Tacoma Public Library is opposed to white supremacy in all of its forms and committed to fostering an organization that is actively anti-racist. We believe that Black Lives Matter. We are grieving with our black community and all communities of color who continue to be harmed by institutionalized racism. We are committed to being a trusted community resource available to all, and along with the resources listed here, our public programs will seek to reflect the values of anti-racism and to elevate BIPOC voices. Please note that many of these titles are available in other formats such as ebook and audiobook, and may be requested by searching the title in the catalog.
