Racism

Library Services staff and the Diversity and Inclusion Team gathered these resources as a follow up to the campus-wide conversation "Sharing Voices In This Time of National Struggle."  Also check out the Library Display Page where we explore the intersection of art, poetry, and protest. 

The Holy Family University librarians have packed these Research Guides with carefully selected resources to help you with your research. Use the "Doing Library Research" guide if you are new to Holy Family and just starting to do academic research. For subject-specific information, use the subject guides that include recommended article databases, books, and websites.
