pickI got these about 10 years ago when I was visiting Atlanta, GA. While it could be depressing how relevant King's message still is today, his story is nonetheless inspiring, and many of his philosophies are still in practice today, whether intentionally or subconsciously.
pickThis book feels old now since we are living through a time where the news is constantly changing, with headlines, reels and photos more horrible than the last thing we saw just 5 minutes ago. The author goes through a time lapse of attitudes and events in the American political landscape from the last 10+ years. We are in the fight of our lives in this new era. If every single one of us doesn‘t pull together, white supremacy will destroy us all.
pickGreat read about the effects of children‘s march for integration!
pickThis is such an interesting book. It starts out as memoir of Yale law professor Kenji Yoshino‘s younger days as he processed his “otherness” in American society as a Japanese-American, gay man. He talks about covering—attempting to act as white and straight as possible—then goes into related legal issues. There‘s a gentleness to his writing and some of the legalities are more important than ever in our current moment.
pickGranted the biography‘s are kinda short, but this book is important one for children to know what went on back then!
pickWas scrolling through Libby and saw this one. It‘s Rosa Parks and Nikki Giovanni how could I not spend 15 minutes and listen to it?
Children‘s book written by Giovanni that tells story of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
The audio is read by Giovanni as well.
Loved it
This bothers me. This troubles me greatly. This feels just a little too MAGA for my liking. Peaceful protest is NOT violence by definition. Period. (Not saying everyone was peaceful, but to say that any entire movement is violent because some are is reductionist.)

pickPicking up where March leaves off, a blend of history and memoir of Lewis‘ time with the Civil Rights Movement. An incredibly important read.
