#1 – Robin DiAngelo: Deconstructing White Privilege
Run time: 20 minutes
Robin DiAngelo literally wrote the book on White Fragility. She is a sociologist with a PhD, and one of America’s leading white anti-racism activists & writers. This 20 minute long video is the best intro to her work, and gives a basic overview of white privilege.
#2 – Malcolm X: The Ballot or the Bullet (1964)
Run time: 53 minutes
(Audio with subtitles and annotations.)
Malcolm X is often dismissed as an extremist. Listening to him speak has given me an entirely different understanding of his views, and his contributions to racial and social justice work. This is his most famous speech.
#3 – TED Talk: The Dangers of Whitewashing Black History
Run time: 18 minutes
David Ikard corrects the record on Rosa Parks, talks about inaccuracies in what we’re taught about black history in America, and the importance of knowing the truth.
