We can teach young people the honest history of the United States in age-appropriate ways and help them understand commonalities across cultures to develop a strong sense of self and identity as they honor diversity. To support these conversations and learning experiences, we offer parents, caregivers and educators teaching strategies, talking points and activities.
Stories are a deeply meaningful way that we learn about the world, and they can build empathy and understanding of ourselves and others. In each issue of Learning for Justice magazine, we review some of our favorite recent books. Our selections reflect diverse perspectives, affirm identities, celebrate diversity and highlight justice. This week, as a special treat, we’re sharing some of our best-loved books for growing readers and teens from the last few magazine issues.
When it comes to investing in racial justice in education, we believe that the South is the best place to start. If you’re an educator, parent or caregiver, or community member living and working in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana or Mississippi, we’ll mail you a free introductory package of our resources when you join our community and subscribe to our magazine.
