this transcendent story of love and family. [Hanako and her family] pass through the bombed city to live in a village of tenant farmers, so poor that a single potato is precious and Hanako cannot afford to help the scarred boy she tries to befriend. These are devastating circumstances, but Kadohata explains the history behind them in simple, direct prose, perfectly calibrated for younger readers.  Still, her greatest achievement is in never losing sight of the child at the center of her story...The book is filled with unexpected joys, and the most sustaining are the connections Hanako feels with her family."

Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race

Madison, M. (2021). Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race. Rise X Penguin Workshop.

This book is a must have for families and classrooms with preschool and kindergarten-age children. It covers so many topics, starting with identifying and loving your own skin tone. Children also learn why we have different skin tones, and some of the racial labels that people use to correlate all shades of skin. What really sets this book for young children apart is how it explains that the made up idea of race was used to fuel racism. The authors talk about racism not as just individual people being mean, but as a way that white people get power. The book gives children relatable examples of racism that are likely to happen in young children’s worlds. Finally, children are encouraged to challenge racism by speaking up, changing unfair rules, and learning.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Back in 1926 when Dr. Carter G. Woodson established a week-long celebration of the contributions of African Americans to the history of the United States, he probably never envisioned just how his idea would take root and blossom. Today, Americans of all ethnicities formally recognize the entire month of February as a time to honor the bountiful legacy of Black history. In addition, similar month-long observances now honor a broad array of ethnic and other groups.

If you are highlighting African American history during February, or have plans to incorporate the subject in your curriculum throughout the year, why not take the moment to remember that history occurs on a continuum?

Though many people are wont to believe that the Civil Rights Movement -- certainly a watershed period in the nation's evolution -- and the consequent signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 brought an end to the systematic disfranchisement of African Americans, it did not.

In 1999, many African Americans still fight to acquire equal treatment under the law, and, as they do so, they and those who stand with or against them continue to make history urgent and real. By learning about the integral role the city of Birmingham, Ala., has played in the African American struggle for equity, you and your students can simultaneously glean an understanding of the Black experience in America and take action to become a part of that living history.

A commitment to change: A city seeks to heal its history of racial violence

The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and '60s thrust Birmingham, Ala., into the national spotlight as a scene of bitter racial conflict. Photographs of Dr. King behind bars, of the bombed-out Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, and of firehoses and police dogs set upon peaceful marchers remain icons of the period, indelibly linking Birmingham with hate.

The image -- and the reality -- of racist violence on their city streets confronted Birmingham residents with a complicated crisis. For Black citizens, the dream of participating in democracy was on the line. In the view of many Whites, including most city officials, an old and cherished concentration of power was in jeopardy. Some Whites actively supported the African American community's appeal for justice. But for one group -- downtown merchants -- the moral and political tensions presented an economic emergency, as well: Shoppers' fears had left the city's commercial district a ghost town.

Early efforts at renewing downtown Birmingham played primarily on this economic angle, but a few business leaders recognized the need to heal old wounds that recent events had opened. After years of working behind the scenes, and with the strong urging of Black leaders, the group "went public" in 1969 to establish the biracial Community Affairs Committee (CAC), under the sponsorship of an older organization called Operation New Birmingham.

Now in its 30th year, the CAC -- comprising business, civic and religious leaders -- meets every Monday morning at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to discuss community concerns and to develop concrete ways of bringing the races together. The group's latest project is the Birmingham Pledge.

A Groundswell of Support

Since its introduction at the city's annual Martin Luther King Unity Breakfast in January 1998, the Pledge has gathered thousands of signatures in Birmingham, as well as across the U.S. and around the world. President and Mrs. Clinton and numerous other dignitaries are among the signers. The participation of young people is especially critical in the effort to stamp out racial prejudice and discord, and the Pledge sponsors have been impressed with the commitment exhibited by students who choose to add their name.

By signing the Birmingham Pledge , keeping a copy for yourself and mailing the original to the CAC, you can join a national campaign that began as a simple vision of hope for one community. CAC encourages teachers, students, parents and others to make copies of the Pledge and distribute it wherever they deem appropriate. Signed Pledges returned to the CAC will appear in a registry at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.

Should you have questions about the Birmingham Pledge or would like to sponsor your own Pledge drive, call (205) 324-8797 for more information.

To enrich your Pledge initiative and learn more about the struggle of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement, have students read Dr. King's 1963 " Letter from Birmingham City Jail." If possible, consider recording as a podcast or video. For examples, click here to listen to the entire letter and watch others recount their reactions to this powerful defense of civil rights activism. Prompt discussion with the following questions:

To whom is Dr. King writing the letter and why?

What does he identify as the four steps of any nonviolent campaign?

Why did the organizers of the Birmingham campaign choose the Easter season for their protest?

What did Dr. King mean when he wrote that "there are two types of laws"?

What personal disappointments does the letter describe?

Identify the following individuals: Mr. Connor, Rev. Shuttlesworth, James Meredith.

Whom does Dr. King consider the "real heroes" of the South?

What challenges does the letter offer to young people today?

States have introduced hundreds of measures to restrict the right to vote. Our democracy must meet these challenges by adopting reforms that promote safe and accessible elections.

Quality Care for Black Americans

Over 10 million people have lost their Medicaid health coverage, with communities of color bearing the brunt of the impact. The federal government has the power to provide incentives and urge these state leaders to take the actions necessary to pause unwinding, and create an automated renewal process.

Fighting for Good Jobs

The NAACP is proud to continue standing in solidarity with our fellow advocates in the labor movement. As we continuously engage in conversations with corporations and Congressional members, one thing is clear - enacting a living, minimum wage nationwide is imperative.

Putting Black America First

The future of our democracy lies in America's forgotten corners. That's why the NAACP is working hard to recruit 300K volunteers across the country ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

A is for Activist is an ABC board book written and illustrated for the next generation of progressives: families who want their kids to grow up in a space that is unapologetic about activism, environmental justice, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and everything else that activists believe in and fight for.

The alliteration, rhyming, and vibrant illustrations make the book exciting for children, while the issues it brings up resonate with their parents' values of community, equality, and justice. This engaging little book carries huge messages as it inspires hope for the future, and calls children to action while teaching them a love for books.

The illustrations are also multi-layered. Your child will find something they can learn to recognize on each page. There are new things to discover over multiple readings. There are references for grownups to "get", and maybe even be a conversation starter. Oh, and there's always a cat.

Tonatiuh, D., & Sananes, A. (2014). Separate is never equal: Sylvia Mendez & her family's fight for desegregation. Abrams Books for Young Readers.
This book is helpful to learn about segregation/desegregation because this topic is related to race/ethnicity; it is about race and their struggle against the institutionalized segregation policy. This illustrated the pictorial book, a true story, and it helped to eliminate the police forever. Sylvia Mendez was excited to enroll in her neighbor's school in this book. But she and her brothers were turned away and encouraged to go to Mexican schools to study because of their race.Sylvia speculated that her dark hair, brown skin, and last name Mendez meant she had to go to a Mexican school. Sylvia did not understand why she was an English-speaking American citizen, but she had to go to a separate school. On 15 April 1947, the court of appeals ruled in favor of Melendez's family; this court case was called Brown vs. Board of Education. This rule allowed all California children to go to school together regardless of race, ethnicity, or language. Because of this, Sylvia joined the Westminister School; Sylvia was amazed by people from different backgrounds and different parts of the country.

Cultivating School Change through Equity Literacy Commitments and Strategies for School and District Leaders.

Gorski, P. (2018). Cultivating School Change through Equity Literacy Commitments and Strategies for School and District Leaders. In Reaching and teaching students in poverty: Strategies for erasing The opportunity gap (pp. 161–169). essay, Teachers College Press.

An influential book, ‘Reaching and Teaching students in poverty: strategies for erasing the opportunity gap.’ This book is a Multicultural Education Series of the book; it is helpful for a teacher’s professional development to build the teaching and learning strategies and skills. It is an outstanding resourceful book. It embraces an intersectional approach to recognizing and interacting with diverse learners, race, gender, language, identity, and experience. Author Dr. Gorski has claimed that students' progress and success depend on teacher expectations. If a teacher puts effort into teaching and sets the expectation level from his students, you can see the flourishing of students in their life. High expectations raise the likelihood of obtaining a higher degree, enrolling in a tertiary education institute, and bringing positive societal and educational changes. It is not possible without teachers' high expectations. Hence, teacher expectations play a vital role in the students' life.

In Chapter 10, Dr. Gorski has given educators commitments and strategies for school and district leaders to be aware of and learn about the educational outcome disparities and inequalities.
