Summer Reading 2022

Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You.

remixed by Jason Reynolds from Ibram X. Kendi

"This is NOT a history book.
This is a book about the here and now.
A book to help us better understand why we are where we are.
A book about race."

-- Cover Blurb

"It’s a monumental feat to chronicle in so few pages the history of not only anti-Black racism in the U.S., but also assimilationist and anti-racist thought as well. In the process it succeeds at connecting 'history directly...to our lives as we live them right this minute.'  "
