Racism can make everyday things like going to a well-resourced school, accessing clean water and living in a safe community difficult or nearly impossible.
For Black people, some of their experiences of racism are unique to the Black experience and are either not shared by other racialized people or experienced differently. There are many reasons for this, and most of them are historic. Africans were largely first brought to North America in chains, and racism was used to justify their enslavement, abuse, imprisonment and control.
In Stop AntiBlack Racism, young readers will learn about the injustices Black people have faced throughout history and today. They will read about freedom fighters, civil rights leaders and resistance movements and come away with actionable steps to stand up, speak up and become a better ally in the ongoing fight against ignorance.
