The White Allies Handbook

You’ve read White Fragility and How to Be an Antiracist, but what comes next? The answer lies in this clear, actionable guide providing an invaluable 4-week program for becoming an ally who makes a real difference in the racial justice fight. Get the tools you need to get off the sidelines and onto the frontlines of allyship, combat racism while supporting Black women, and avoid common pitfalls white people fall into when they think about and discuss racism.

Black women have always been the driving force behind real change in this country—especially when it comes to racial justice work. But they shouldn’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to stop standing on the sidelines and become anti-racist instead of passively “not racist,”, then this book is what you need. In these pages, Lecia Michelle—founder of the popular Facebook group “Real Talk: WOC and Allies for Racial Justice and Anti-Oppression”—invites you to join her on the frontlines. She shows you what it takes to become an effective ally—including helping you recognize that an important part of the fight is within yourself.
