Things to bring into the convo when discussing enslavement in children's books with kids: "Slavery was a violent system of bondage,an economic system” “It fueled the wealth of the North, South, Britain”; "Deconstruct the notion that slavery was a Southern problem" #litislib2018
"Books can't be taught in isolation. You have to provide a context first before teaching and/or using a children's book about enslavement in the classroom" "Books need to be surrounded by different narratives." #litislib2018
Dr. Perry encourages to always keep in mind the following when selecting/using children's books re: enslavement (and everything): 1. developmentally appropriate 2. historically accurate 3. culturally authentic #litislib2018
@TchKimPossible Here she is reading Crown 💜. It was brought into the conversation that is not enough seeing ourselves (mirrors), is seeing ourselves doing what? #litislib2018

One of the workshops was "African American Literature for Black Boys: PreK-12" by Dr. @TchKimPossible" She reminded us to always remember Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop as the creator of the terms "windows", "mirrors" and "sliding glass door" in kid lit + representation. #litislib2018
“fugitive learning is the bridge connecting education that is in service of black freedom, as necessarily has been fugitive and subversive. Any kind of learning and literacy that breaks from dominant forms of understanding." #litislib2018
Keynote by Dr. Jarvis R. Givens: The Fugitive Life of Black Literacy. "Black literacy has always been fugitive. It's a group activity, activity of escape". "A literate enslaved person was a fugitive enslaved person, because they were running away with themselves" #litislib2018

So much to bring and intersect with our work as children's librarians/school librarians. Going to quote (or paraphrase) some of the presenters. #litislib2018
Yesterday I attended the first annual Literacy is Liberation Conference. A free, one-day community conference organized by Boston Network for Black Student Achievement. 💜 #litislib2018
