“The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.”
Ijeoma Oluo, author of So You Want To Talk About Race

If I had to choose one book to help start young people talking about race, I would pick this one. In fact, you need to read this book. Everyone should. Not only is it extremely approachable, it is also incredibly informative and inclusive.

Stamped from the Beginning

How We Fight For Our Lives
by Saeed Jones
This memoir by black and gay poet Saeed Jones is a visceral coming of age and coming out story…There are passages that will bruise and choke you, but ultimately both Jones and the reader come out of the book all the better for it.
Rachel, The Book Table
Eye opening message. Thank you.
A must read.
We’re still breathing life in this evil…must stop now.
