@TereseMarieM's new piece is an incredibly moving reflection on education spaces and their relationship to-or distance from-Indigenous knowledge. The piece includes book recs from @debreese (AICL) and the 2024 American Indian Youth Literature Awards (AILA, @ALALibrary affiliate).

Police killed more people in 2021 than in 2020, the year of George Floyd's murder. They killed more people in 2022 than in 2021. They killed more people in 2023 than in 2022. And they are on pace to kill far more in 2024 than 2023.
