Black Lives Matter Resources: Home
Welcome
Fondren Library staff will continue to add links to this page to help connect our Rice community with resources about the Black Lives Matter movement and the interplays of race, class, and policing in the United States.
All books are linked to their record in OneSearch. If an online version is not available or you see a gap in our collection, please submit a request.
If you'd rather purchase your own copy, consider supporting a Black-owned independent bookstore near you.
