Books: Library Collections and Suggestions
As librarians and publishers, we must have honest, direct conversations about anti-racism, equity, and inclusion, and acknowledge our roles as gatekeepers and in privileging Western norms. We can no longer privilege the “canon” or maintain the status quo. We must devote significant and substantive time to discussing the field’s diversity problems, our implicit biases, and the language we use. Specifically, we must reconsider how we think and speak about systemic racism and inequity and how that's baked into the infrastructure of our society. Nicole A. Cooke in:

Ringgold’s story quilts were on display at this show and were, of course, impressive to view in person. Some of the stories and other works were depicted in her books for children and were excellent books to use for music instruction.

Faith Ringgold – If One Can Anyone Can All you Gotta Do Is Try
``Quilt paintings''--acrylic on canvas paper, with fabric borders from Ringgold's story quilt of the same name--illustrate a Depression era girl's imaginative foray to heights from which she can see and therefore claim her world.

NBF Presents: A New American Curriculum December 15, 2020
Erica Armstrong Dunbar:
“Recenter the story”
My charge to help us rethink who and how this country was founded.
When we think about curriculum …… 4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade... it was incumbent upon me to make sure their teachers have the material to teach.
Shout out to the editors that make space for these new voices and historians. Right now there’s a real call to change publishing “threadbare lie that black people don’t read or that white people don’t care.”
Must be reshaped to look like Americans!
We must reshape the way we teach US History
Jason Reynolds:
Short Stories - publishers were against it, but it makes sense that young people would like short stories in this day in age, hence a “story in ten blocks”.
...the stakes are too high - deliver something that I believe will engage them.
Ultimately ---- it’s America and the sloth dances slow.
I’m gonna bust my move whether the sloth dances slow or not.
Black literature has always been on the cutting edge. Langston was challenging the norm.
“You’ve got more arrows in your quiver”
We know us and them - it only makes your child better.
Look for the loopholes and get a little bit creative.
Shakespeare is everywhere.
Tracy K. Smith
What poets allow readers to do along with them. Code switching- a pathway to many realities.
Teach the required texts and then bring in perspectives.
Primary sources! Newspaper articles - it does take extra work, but you will be offering your students what they need to know.
A poem can allow you to look at fragments
