A Guide to the Guide

Welcome to McQuade Library's Social Justice Month Resources Guide! Since April is a month of multiple themes, we decided to cover them all under the umbrella of Social Justice Month. The tabs on the left will lead you to events, virtual book displays, podcasts, and websites organized by theme: Social Justice Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, National Poetry Month, National Library Week, and Love Your Body Week. Enjoy!

Fall 2020 Unity and Diversity Days
The two-day event was first introduced in Oct. 2020 and underscores Merrimack’s commitment to ongoing education, reflection and action on diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice. Speakers, workshops and cultural events have addressed such issues as racial injustice, gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights, disability and accessibility, systemic inequalities exposed by COVID-19 and more. Following the enthusiastic response to the fall 2020 event, which attracted over 3,000 people, Unity in Diversity Days will be held once a semester.
