This week, we’re supporting a campaign to show support for Black Lives Matter in the bookstores in addition to participating in our nationwide protests. The #BlackPublishingPower challenge urges people to buy any two books by Black writers between Sunday, June 14, and Saturday, June 20. Check out the hashtag #BlackoutBestsellerList on Twitter for ideas about what to buy. Also see this Mixed-Up Files post f or this one or ideas about other ways to support and create equity for Black creators.
The Brown Bookshelf hosts award-winning authors Kwame Alexander, Jacqueline Woodson and Jason Reynolds in the Kidlit Community Rally for Black Lives.
Join them on Facebook Live at 7 p.m – 7:45 PM EST (For K-12 Students) and 7:45-8:30 PM EST (For Parents, Teachers, and Educators) on Thursday, June 4.
