The essential anti-racism book for back-to-school

It can be hard to talk to kids about racism. But as students return to school this fall, it’s more important than ever to equip them with the right vocabulary and tools to discuss race, identify racism, and stand up when they notice injustice. Whether you’re a parent getting children ready for the new year or a teacher tackling these essential topics in the classroom, A Smart Girl’s Guide: Race & Inclusion is an excellent resource.
