Centuries of racism and oppression have defined the United States. The death of George Floyd is an unwanted reminder that we must all take a stand. We join with the many activists and creatives who are protesting against systemic racism, white supremacy, and policy brutality.
We will use the WNDB platform to promote anti-racism and #BlackLivesMatter resources and literature for children and adults, starting with these, which we will update continuously. If you have a resource to add, please email alainalavoie@diversebooks.org.
