Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In our classroom, we aim to cultivate compassionate, empathetic minds that embrace diversity and challenge injustice. By seeking donated anti-racist books, we envision expanding our students' literary horizons and fostering critical thinking skills. These books will serve as powerful tools for sparking important conversations, promoting empathy, and nurturing a sense of social responsibility.

Our goal is to create an inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and empowered to confront prejudice and discrimination.

With your support, we can provide our students with the resources they need to become compassionate, socially conscious leaders of tomorrow.
