My students deserve to see themselves in the literature they read. I teach in a school that is very diverse. Students who are able to see themselves in the literature are more likely to become invested in the novel. Not only will these novels help students of color see themselves in the literature, it will also help create awareness of systematic racism. According to research, "Children as young as 3 months are aware of racial differences, and by the time they are preschoolers, they make choices, based on race, about with whom to play and how." By adding Black authors to our Book Clubs, I feel that all of my students will gain valuable insight into issues that are frequently swept under the rug.
