How to Be a (Young) Antiracist

Ibram X. Kendi
(Teen Nonfiction - 305.8009 Ken)

We can let racism stand, or we can stand against it. Readers will follow a young Kendi as he learns (and unlearns) lessons that help shape his understanding racism. Kendi's concept of anti-racism re-energizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America. Even more fundamentally, it points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. He asks us to think about what an anti-racist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it.
