Anti-Racist Organizing Respository and Archive (ARORA)

sds_421px-fistThe 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.

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.
