As urban school settings are struggling with a major deficient in literacy, classroom libraries with modern books for Black and brown students, written by Black and brown authors, is significant and provides a more impactful learning environment. Yes, the standard curriculum is important and is first in the classroom, but reading a book that speaks directly to the reader from a perspective that is understood by the reader is transformation and groundbreaking. According to Phi Delta Kappa's online journal in 2019, only seventeen percent of Black twelfth graders were reading at proficiency. Coleman states "literacy needs its own focus because reading is the gatekeeper to functioning and succeeding academically, professionally, and civically."
