pickIt is time to uncover some buried history and learn how to love our neighbors in a better way. This book is so very well written and it provides the teaching, guidance and challenges we need to make the necessary changes. Be humble, be teachable and please do something.
Read this book!
I have the serendipitous timing to stumble upon a panel speaking and awareness event at the book in the historic downtown I was visiting circumstantially Wednesday! So giveaways of banned books (mostly kids and youth) to emphasize a need for greater access to diverse stories to build empathy and to expand our awareness of the people and culture out there we meet, to better understand our world, we are not all the same but not all that different.
pickFound this informative book at work today while manning the children‘s info desk. Great read for February‘s Black History Month!
pickDespite some accurate but misleadingly presented information (eg, on p 124, data about PhDs in the natural sciences), this book presents a compelling and accessible argument that systemic racism exists in the US and that it is intentional. I'm left with a few ideas for action, including supporting causes that seek to increase voter registration and turnout and promoting more equitable resource allocation in my area's public schools.
pickIncludes understandable framing of concepts, a few specific language examples, and suggestions for further reading.
pickI am a little surprised that this book hasn't received more attention. This is a really good overview on the system of racism in this country with some hands on idea to get involved and how to be part of a solution. Very appropriate for HS and college students.
I just started this yesterday and I think this is appropriate for high school or college... the book is set-up like a study/ discussion guide. Both of the authors are educators.

This stuff just makes me sick. 🤮 What a horrible, hateful person and attitude.
