BMCC has posted anti-racism resources which describe anti-racism as the "active process of identifying and eliminating racism by changing systems, organizational structures, policies, practices, and attitudes."
BMCC has also posted newly updated anti-racism resources with links to the "Harvard Business School: Implicit Association Test" and Kimberlé Crenshaw's TedTalk on "The Urgency of Intersectionality."
In addition to the main resources, the college is offering "racial trauma resources" for those who "react to acts of racism with fear and hypervigilance, headaches, insomnia, body aches, memory difficulty, self-blame, confusion, shame, and guilt after experiencing racism."
Rose Kim, Associate Professor of social sciences, human services and criminal justice at BMCC, is an expert in Critical Race Theory, Racism Theory, and race and ethnicity.
The educational goal for students who take Ethnic Studies courses at BMCC is to "Cultivate knowledge of themselves—who they are; how they struggle with living legacies of slavery, colonialism, and racial injustices; how they are made and remade through the politics of the everyday and social movements; and above all what they are capable of achieving."
BMCC lists its many courses related to the pathway entitled "U.S. Experience in its Diversity."
In April 2023, BMCC held the "Social Justice Week: CUNY Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Leaders in Conversation" which was a "panel discussion featuring Diversity, Equity and Inclusion leaders from a cross-section of CUNY institutions engaging in a dialogue about current CUNY campus efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion work."
BMCC's "Racial Trauma Resources" page provides a list of resources for "Black-Identified Individuals and Communities" and states, "Racial trauma is the term used to describe the emotional and physical reaction People of Color often have to acts of racism."
BMCC's "Social Justice Resources" page states "Social justice is the process of ensuring that all people have the same privileges and personal liberties as well as the possibility of social mobility." Resources include: "Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do," "From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation," and "I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness."
