Line Break

Everyone should have equal rights. That’s why I’d recommend that all people read Stamped (for Kids): Racism, Antiracism, and You, by Jason Reynolds, Ibram X. Kendi, and Sonja Cherry-Paul. This book is about the roots of racism. The authors explain that people invented stories and lies to discriminate against Black people and convince themselves that being racist isn’t wrong. Anyone looking to learn more about racial justice will enjoy reading this book as much as I did. Parts of it have information that can be scary to learn, but its message is something anyone and everyone should take in.
