I'm baaaaackkkkk! Can't wait to dive into all the great things we have coming up for you this fall. Stay tuned for updates on e-galleys, educational resources, and author content coming your way!
I leave you with a shameless photo of my adorable new coworker, baby Ellis.
"When we got to the slavery chapter I was horrified. The more complete versions of our history will FREE us! We have to tell both sides of humans, even the flawed side." @ScheleWilliams#SLJDOD#ownvoices
"The archives of black people are full of what happened to us and not what we did" @vvchambers that hit me hard both as a black person and a #librarian#SLJDOD Truth bombs are all over the place in this session.
"As long as there are powers that be, we need to BE them" Kekla Magoon, author of the upcoming book Revolution in Our Time about the Black Panthers, on African Americans participating in the political process and the importance of voting. #sljdod
"These books are creating a new archive that's about our agency and what we did, so that the archives from now will not look the same as they do now" @vvchambers#sljdod 's Reclaiming History panel is a must-see!
Congrats to @YamileSMendez on the Pura Belpré Award! Celebrating by posting an unseen set of pictures from when @AlgonquinYR graciously sent this incredible shirt post-#FútbolForFuria 💕💕💕
