The first is included in an article by Brentin Mock published in Atlantic. Titled “There Are No Urban Design Courses on Race and Justice, So We Made Our Own Syllabus,” the article includes the following list of suggested readings culled by Mock from a larger number of suggestions sent to him by the urban-design faculty whom he contacted:

Mock’s article was included in Atlantic’s daily City Lab newsletter and the complete article is available at: http://www.citylab.com/design/2015/05/there-are-no-urban-design-courses-on-race-and-justice-so-we-made-our-own-syllabus/393335/?utm.

The second is a more formal syllabus for the course “Black Lives Matter: Race, Resistance, and Populist Protest” taught at New York University by Professor Frank Leon Roberts. AI became aware of the syllabus through an item in Portside’s daily Tidbits newsletter [http://portside.org/2015-09-10/tidbits-september-10-2015-gop-trump-and-appeal-reaction-no-union-mines-kentucky-black].

This is a link to a pdf copy of the syllabus, which, judging from the results of a Google search, Prof. Roberts seems to have very generously disseminated: http://www.blacklivesmattersyllabus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Black-Lives-Matter-Syllabus.pdf
