#wearenotyetequal understanding our racial divides. By #carolanderson with #tonyabolden @bloomsburychildrens Aug 20 . . This fascinating and informative book is adapted from the best seller white rage we are not yet equal which summons young people to bear witness to the devastating and expansive strategies white citizens have taken up to preserve the racialized violence that emerge from the founding of the nation. . . history texts often teach that the United States have made a straight line of progress towards black equality the reality is much more complex milestones like the end of slavery school integration and equal voting rights have all been met with racist legal and political maneuvering is meant to limit the progress. This examines five of these moments: Reconstructing Reconstruction; Derailing the Great migration; Burning Brown to the ground; Rolling back Civil Rights and . Unelecting a Black President. It includes archival imagery and photos plus extra resources. This looks a must read. I was especially interested to see the inclusion of Thurgood Marshall as I have just watched a film about his early life as a lawyer before he became a supreme court judge ( on Netflix. ) I will be interested to read about his later life. Inspirational man . . . This should definitely be included in all school libraries. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDWQLYRAL6s/?igshid=1iafqmnoj06uv
