Amplify Black Voices on Our Bookshelves!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Moriarty's classroom raised $663
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My middle school is in a culturally-diverse, high-poverty area in Durham, NC. We are a Title I school and 100% of our students receive free lunch and breakfast.
Many of our students do not have access to the supplies and safe environment that students do elsewhere. We are working to ensure that the Media Center is a place for students to know that they are safe and welcome. Our mission is to act as a community gathering space for students and staff to support their multiple literacy goals.
My Project
Help me provide my students with books that reflect their heritage and experiences. African-American voices in literature have historically suffered from degradation and silencing, and I have a responsibility as an educator to change that.
My students are diverse, strong, and passionate; they deserve to see themselves reflected in the books they read.
The books I'm asking for feature black authors, characters, and perspectives. They add valuable insight and context to the important conversation about race that is happening in our nation. Adding these titles to our library will help us foster a diverse environment that is marked by anti-racism, inclusion, and respect.
