Happy #Juneteenth! Today we commemorate not only the freeing of enslaved people but the richness of Black history in the US. We hope today's celebrations are joyous, just as we urge all non-Black people to be accomplices in the continued fight for equality. Suggested reading 🧵:

A recent study found that 77% of all children’s books featured either white people or animals—that disparity inspired Northwestern alum Jacob Jordan to launch the Equal Opportunity Book Box (EOBB) with his classmates through @TheGarageNU. bit.ly/3gowstK

Reflecting today on how much Dr. King did for society, and on how much he foreshadowed.
His words ring ever true - and today is a great time to familiarize yourself with more of his teachings. The system remains structured to be unequal. We must keep up the fight for equity.
Great news! Census data shows that America is becoming "more diverse more quickly than expected." All the more reason to have your kids reading diverse books! washingtonpost.com/nation/in…

Got my 3 year old’s @equalbookbox for the month and do any of my 3rd grade Reading teachers who use ReadyGen curriculum recognize the first book??? I spent weeks reading/dissecting/having discourse about ‘Storm in the Night’ with my classes. Nice surprise to see.
Beyond honored to receive the social innovator award! We ♥️ the 💨 city!!
