Stony the Road: Reconstruction, White Supremacy, and the Rise of Jim Crow
by Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Education is an important part of antiracism; this collection of books around racism, allyship, and the movement for justice is a great place to start. It’s important to understand the perspective of others which can be done through books like Me and White Supremacy, Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?: And Other Conversations about Race, and I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness. By learning about the past through books like Why We Can’t Wait by Martin Luther King Jr. and An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States, we can work on shaping a better future. Ibram X. Kendi won the 2016 National Book Award for Stamped From the Beginning, his book about the history of racist thought in the U.S. His latest book, Stamped, focuses on the present and what we can and should be doing about racism in 2020. Starting these lessons early in life can be done at home through antiracism kids books like The Day You Begin, The Skin I’m In, All Are Welcome, We’re Different, We’re the Same (Sesame Street Series), and many more.  Read a book, share it with a friend, have conversations with those around you, and help fight for an antiracist future.
