A6 5/5: Of course, read Dr. April Baker-Bell’s work on Anti-Black Linguistic Racism. But also read Dr. Smitherman’s classic 1977 Talkin and Testifyin: The Language of Black America, which Dr. Baker-Bell draws and builds upon heavily in her 2020 monograph.

A6 4/5: Dr. Alim and Dr. Smitherman’s Articulate While Black: Barack Obama, Language, and Race in the U.S. is such a FUN and salient sociolinguistic read!
