Listen to Rev. Wylie Hughes' and my discussion below.

Absolutely and be willing to have these conversations with children in general. I personally suggest "Something Happend in Our Town" on racial injustice from 2 families perspectives. Librarians and Teachers include displays on "Tough Topics", "Decolonizing Thanksgiving", diverse representation all year round and not just on featured months like "Black history is U.S. History". There are HUGE gaps in children's books still and needs to be filled despite the rise of ongoing book bans throughout the nation. What books do you recommend and how do you help fill the gap?

Today, on International Day for the Abolition of Slavery, we remember the past, stand against the present, and work for a future free from this abhorrent practice. 🌍✊ Slavery is a stain on humanity that continues to exist in various forms. Let's raise our voices, educate, and advocate for the rights and freedom of all enslaved individuals. By shining a light on this issue and demanding change, we can work towards a world where every person is treated with dignity and respect. Join the fight for the abolition of slavery and let justice and freedom prevail. #AbolishSlavery #HumanRights #EndModernSlavery

On today’s Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we recognize one of the greatest shames of our history. Though there is no apology that can make up for the aggression and tortures of the past, through the gradual changing of minds, maybe we can arrive at a path to a future where the truth of our history is told more often and without misguidance, so that something close to reconciliation can take place. https://hubs.ly/Q020LFML0
