How to Be an Antiracist | Ibram X. Kendi

"Racist ideas make people of color think less of themselves, which makes them more vulnerable to racist ideas. Racist ideas make White people think more of themselves, which further attracts them to racist ideas." #ThisIsAmerica #HowToBeAnAntiracist #IbramXKendi

The library in this town closes at eight. Residents often work days and nights. How do they get to the library anyway? Who has a car? Who has gas money for the car? An ereader is a big expense. English is often limited.

saguarosally @JoRead Plus books don‘t solve everything. 😐 6y
Mandigolightly @saguarosally modern libraries are more than just books. 6y
Mandigolightly Most libraries combat this by being open a variety of hours. Our library has morning hours two weekdays a week, plus very early mornings on Saturday 6y
saguarosally @Mandigolightly Oh, I know. The lack of access to resources at libraries is also problematic. I know hours also often vary to accommodate people and libraries really try to serve the public. At some point, though, social inequities are such that access becomes difficult. 6y

By 2010...Florida had the largest population in the world of children condemned to die in prison for non-homicides. #thisisamerica

She is one of nearly five hundred people in Pennsylvania who have been condemned to mandatory life imprisonment without parole for crimes they were accused of committing when they were between the ages of thirteen and seventeen. It is the largest population of child offenders condemned to die in prison in any single jurisdiction in the world. #thisisamerica
