Happy birthday Jim Henson, on what would‘ve been your 86th birthday! Thank you for making this world a better place!

Quote from the beginning of this book:

“When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who makes a difference in this world. My hope still is to leave this world a little better for my being here.“ - Jim Henson

More love for this wonderful book. It was challenged in 2015 for containing images of poverty & for downplaying American Exceptionalism.

Boots says, “Hiss!!!” to book bans!

Challenged by a Wisconsin school board member in 2015 for 1) Containing images of poverty 2) Downplaying American Exceptionalism.

Shameless self-promotion: We will be discussing this book on my podcast Muppet Profiles. 😊

LibrarianRyan 😨 😪 😡Seriously. Someone tried to ban the muppets for showing poverty. 🙄 2y
Kerrbearlib @LibrarianRyan Yup. So ridiculous. 🙄 2y

Truly a privilege to be part of such a distinguished panel of speakers this morning for the Global Sustainable Technology & Innovation Conference -Gstic panel on bridging the digital divide for more equitable and inclusive childhood education happening at the Expo 2020 Dubai. Grateful to the conference organizers namely Prof. Jan De Groof (UNESCO Chair for the Right to Education) and Prof YE from KU Leuven for this opportunity to talk about books!

Finished this summer as part of a teacher book study. Highly recommend for those in education looking for ways to go beyond just talking about making curriculum more inclusive. Dr. Muhammad centers her curriculum building approach on her research of Historic Black Literary Societies (bringing identity, skills, intellectualism, criticality, and joy to the classroom). 💗

Just starting this while my husband is driving us to Noank CT on the shoreline for our annual family lobster fest. 🦞

Linsy Such a good book!!! 4y
SamAnne I'm a huge Jessmyn fan & there are so many great pieces in this collection--except for the essay on Rachael Dolezal. Lazy research--he didn't even get the city she lived in right. It is a rich story with a lot to discuss & that essay fell flat for me. Google Ijeomo Uluo's article in The Stranger instead. It is brilliant, although her description of Spokane is a bit unfair--Portland has as large of a racist element, sadly, as Spokane. 4y
kspenmoll @SamAnne Thank you so much for the heads up! I will do as you suggest. Really appreciate your input!!‘ 4y

SamAnne @kspenmoll I was a little obsessed with the Dolezal story. Met her briefly a couple of times. She was a white woman from MT who represented herself as Black, got elected president of the Spokane NAACP. How? What was the collective denial and silence going on? In retrospect she was so clearly a white woman with dreads and a spray tan. Grew up in a conservative Christian family with Black adopted brothers. So many levels of crazy to unpack. 4y
kspenmoll @SamAnne I remember reading the news reports when she came undone. Not there yet in the book but will read essay today. 4y
