The Black Girlhood Project

Sandra Bickham Washington, Ph.D. and literary scholar, created the project a few years ago.

This website contains a reading list that is meant to highlight the voices of black female children and adolescents, all the books and films recommended revolve around a black female protagonist and their interactions with the world. By design, the website has tabs across the top leading visitors to different sections of the database. A tab dedicated to academic conferences and events promoting young women of color in literature is offered for those who are interested while another tab is dedicated to the creator. A personalized tab near the far right is dedicated to asking individuals to submit blog posts for a chance of being published, hoping to promote as many black females as possible.

A basic understanding of how a website works and an internet connection. Most information needed is already on the website.

Sandra Bickham Washington was the first to provide a free, all-access list like this one for the public.

One should most likely learn the basics/fundamentals of racism and why it happens before going in-depth into black literature.
