Black August Resource Guide

Includes: a letter from the author, recommended books, films, organizations, Black August history and actionable ways to support today's movements.

Black August is more than a commemoration; it's an invitation to study, reflect, organize, and recommit ourselves to the ongoing struggle for collective liberation.

Whether this is your first introduction to Black August or you've observed it for years, this guide was created to make the history, people, and ideas that shaped the movement more accessible.

Inside, you'll find a curated list of resources from books to documentaries that explore the U.S history of Black resistance, political prisoners, prison abolition, and revolutionary movements within the African Diaspora.

Throughout the guide, you'll also experience the powerful artwork of political prisoner Kevin "Rashid" Johnson and learn how you can support his ongoing advocacy.

My hope is that this resource serves not simply as something to read, but as something to return to. That it sparks curiosity, deepens your political education, and reminds us that none of us get liberated divorced from community.

We stand on the shoulders of people who dared to imagine a freer world. May this guide encourage each of us to carry that work forward with courage and care.
