Anti-Racist Historical Literature Highlighting Marginalized Voices for HS Students

Help me give my students books about REAL history, marginalized people, historically silenced, oppressed voices and fictional books containing historical facts, people and aspects. We also need sanitizing wipes, manila envelopes, and multiple copies of books to mail safely.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

When you are one of our students, you are part of the family. Our school has a tradition of pride and excellence as well as a tight-knit community. Our students love to participate in learning opportunities of all kinds--especially reading experiences that deepen their knowledge and connect them with others, their community, and with history. Our students are in two categories: voracious readers or future voracious readers. Our reading community efforts are literacy-centered, service-centered, or designed to enrich course work such as reading sets of books in a group so they can enjoy these books together.

My Project

During the current quarantine situation, our students are unable to access books from our classrooms, our school library, and their public library. Our students need to read quality, diverse books to deepen their knowledge and enrich their lives. At our school we absolutely need to build up the availability and access to books that are by and about people of color, particularly from a historic and anti-racist lens. Much of what we have is outdated and not available in book sets for classes to read and study together. This ambitious project aims to correct that and provide books written by and about marginalized, historically silenced voices. Their points of view need to be read, studied, known and validated!

We are also requesting sanitizing wipes to keep materials germ-free and manila envelopes to mail books safely.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
