Anti-Racist Organizing Respository and Archive (ARORA)

The Solidarity Institute, in partnership with the Challenging White Supremacy workshop, has begun an ambitious project to document organizational practices of anti-racist organizing from the 1960s to the present and make these documents available to the general public.

Archival documents will be free and available at: http://www.solidarityinstitute.org/category/arora

This project is in support of the Solidarity Institute’s first book manuscript, Challenging White Supremacy: Multiracial Alliance and Antiracist Organizing in the U.S., which will be authored by director Jeb Middlebrook and released initially as a doctoral dissertation through the University of Southern California in 2010.

If you have documents you believe should be included in the archive please email: jeb.middlebrook@usc.edu and a staff member will be in touch with you.
