In 2020, Adler’s Black community presented the University with the Black Community Demands and Expectations document. This document included an expectation for the University to designate additional funds for the purchase of Black-specific library resources. The Library used those funds to purchase the books presented in this guide, and received additional funds to continue adding to this collection in 2021-22. The most recent additions to the collection can be found in the New Arrivals box below.
