Abstract: In the summer of 2020, a group of 16 faculty and staff working at a small, regional public college that is part of a large state-wide university system created a grassroots initiative to normalize the teaching of race, racism, and antiracism across courses in a variety of disciplines. In this article, we provide an overview of the program along with case studies written by four faculty who transformed their courses to center antiracist content. We conclude with an analysis of the challenges faced by these faculty throughout the process, focusing on how this work requires transforming content through a paradigm shift and considering the greater sociopolitical and emotional climate. Despite limitations, we conclude that the initiative has had a significant impact on our college, ensuring that an increasing number of students on our campus encounter antiracist content across the curriculum.
