Anti-Racism Resources for Kids

For September, with the school year starting the resources group wants to provide some information on where to access literature appropriate for growing young anti-racists.

From the Brooklyn Public Library - “Brooklyn Public Library is adding our voice to those fighting for the rights of teens nationwide to read what they like, discover themselves, and form their own opinions. Inspired by the American Library Association's Freedom to Read Statement, BPL's Books Unbanned initiative is a response to an increasingly coordinated and effective effort to remove books tackling a wide range of topics from library shelves.” Students Ages 13-21 are able to access ebooks from the Brooklyn Public Library from anywhere in the country. The link below directs you to their website to sign up for a library card. Additionally, the website Charis Books & More has a list of age appropriate books for teaching white children about how to dismantle racism and white supremacy.
