Antiracism Resources from the Counseling Center

Black Lives Matter

In support of the University System of Maryland chancellor and presidents' statement, the UMBC Counseling Center continues to stand against racism and denounces the murders of Black people with the most recent tragic killings of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Tony McDade. We stand with Black folx and communities as the COVID-19 pandemic and recent acts of state violence continue to highlight the health disparities and the traumatization of marginalized communities (see Counseling Center Statement).

Below is a non-exhaustive list of resources on systemic racism history, antiracism resources, resources for Black communities, and resources for parents raising antiracist children. If you want your voice to be heard and considering one’s circumstances, call your elected representative, vote, donate time or money.
