Resources on Race, Racial Relations, and the Black Experience in the U.S.: Reference Sources

Need background information?

Reference collections are a great place to start looking for information on various topics. You can get lots of background information from encyclopedias or official definitions from dictionaries. They have been thoroughly researched and vetted by scholars and, if worth their salt, include helpful citations and bibliographies. (Unlike a lot of information you find online!)

As always, I am available for assistance!
