All healing moments. Especially Tues when Dems showed up in full force! #resist Huge #joy
Bookriot has a story on Georgia's “Helen Ruffin Reading Bowl,“ a statewide program to promote reading in Georgia schools. According to the story, this year the program caved to pressure from book banners and removed 8 (40%!) of the already-announced 20 titles from the high school list.
You'll be shocked, I'm sure, to hear that they left only one work by a Black author on the approved list. And they spelled her name wrong. Shocked.
Today is the 102nd anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment. As the occupier in chief & many others are trying to disenfranchise many. It‘s important to remember all those women who fought hard for our right to vote (they were not perfect & were not intersectional feminists). If our vote wasn‘t so important they wouldn‘t constantly be trying to take it away. #resist
People choices to actively fight against a regime like Hitler‘s always result in my questioning of myself: would I be so committed to, so brave? I really don‘t know. Rose Valland chose to outwit the Nazis to save France‘s art, passed critical information to the Resistance& faced death.I know of her, but am excited to read this well researched biography. #grateful #libraryfind #resist
Book Riot had a good article on what we can do to help save IMLS. Contact your reps!
