I did not know of the previous history of this book. This information is not taught in library school or in the "multicultural" library courses that are being offered in our library schools. I had always wanted for library school to teach more courses on diversity within the libraries, but have never seen any push for it. In reading your blog I realize that it is up to the few of us librarians of color to push for such curriculum or offer to teach it ourselves. <br />Jacqueline Woodson has always been one of my favorite authors. I had the pleasure of meeting her in person and she is as gracious and generous as she is with her stories. I also applaud her for not letting a negative and ignorant comment steal her thunder. We must celebrate loudly our authors of color so the whole world can hear.Rofar77https://www.blogger.com/profile/06325212508423904888noreply@blogger.com
