Year-End Reflections on The 2016-17 Anthropoliteia BlackLivesMatterSyllabus Project

Welcome to the last post of the 2016-2017 year of Anthropoliteia’s #BlackLivesMatter syllabus.

We can’t thank all of the contributors enough— collectively, hours and hours of inspired labor and creativity went into the blog posts.
