This page of bibliographic resources was developed for the 2020 Black Scholars Matter Symposia, when the panelists were asked to suggest items to inform the symposia and launch a resource for SBL’s members. We also solicited resource suggestions from members. It was a limited set of items at that time and remains so. SBL is developing a process for revising and expanding. If you have suggestions for items, please contact LaToya.Leary@sbl-site.org.
