Absolutely and be willing to have these conversations with children in general. I personally suggest "Something Happend in Our Town" on racial injustice from 2 families perspectives. Librarians and Teachers include displays on "Tough Topics", "Decolonizing Thanksgiving", diverse representation all year round and not just on featured months like "Black history is U.S. History". There are HUGE gaps in children's books still and needs to be filled despite the rise of ongoing book bans throughout the nation. What books do you recommend and how do you help fill the gap?

Rev. Wylie Hughes and I discuss: - The Black-Jewish Alliance - what happened to it and how to revive it? - Public Discourse - can civil conversation return to civic life? - The illiberal Left - can we revive liberalism among progressives? The answers - only when we pull apart the Gordian knot of White Supremacy, American misogyny and patriarchy, and anti-Indigenous genocide, for a start. https://lnkd.in/engUqNiW

When someone chooses to expose a misuse of power and stand for what is right, they initiate the reshaping of the culture to come. Throughout history, courageous voices were compelling enough to motivate government to enact legislation to defend the vulnerable. Their sacrifices and unwavering determination modeled a way of life that challenged the masses to confront their biases and bigotry. A clarion call persists as our world continues to experience an epidemic of prejudice, mistrust, and injustice. Not everyone has the position or platform to influence the laws of the land from the highest courts; but every one of us has the power of influence to impact the lives of those around us just by doing what is right. Through simple acts of kindness, we can be voices of everyday justice as we choose to use our power for good. Download for free: https://lnkd.in/eg-UaNMV

My new blog posts talks everything Human Dignity. https://lnkd.in/gw83D9QQ "With the aim of carving a democratic society, the realisation of the importance of affording another their right to human dignity is an act that calls for no alteration, alienation and contestation."

Dismantling institutions from our history that have hurt our fellow human being must be our highest priority. The hand of Justice is never even if it tips towards one peoples and rips right through another. We must rewrite what Justice means by believing what it can and must look like. Not just for the privileged and their institutions of influence but for all those who struggle and whose greatest crime is simply being the most vulnerable in a system that preys on the forgotten and the forlorn. Justice mustn’t tower with great force for some people and teeter in shrinking totality and tonelessness when needed for another. Justice in America and this City cannot continue to stand on it’s pernicious pier of power which only serves to give an unforgiving armed authority to those who seek to be beyond reproach. Justice must resist the temptress of terror and give refuge to the repressed. It is imperative that we ask the hard questions that will lead to the much more difficult solutions our imperiled Nation and City need. For I believe that: “Peace cannot exist without justice, justice cannot exist without fairness, fairness cannot exist without development, development cannot exist without democracy, democracy cannot exist without respect for the identity of worth of cultures and peoples.” — Rigoberta Menchu #justice #philadelphia #defender #reformer #raceinamerica #timeforchange #philosophy #writer #writing
