Taking Action to Develop an Anti-racist Community

Help me give my students the opportunity to read the award-winning book, Stamped: Racism, Anti-Racism and You. Students will be able to understand the history of racism so they can identify racist ideas and challenge them.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Swedlow's classroom raised $306

My Project

‘Stamped: Racism, Anti-Racism, and You’ by Jason Reynolds’s and Ibram X. Kendi explores the history of racist ideas in America, and how they've been used to create power and separation.

This book would help readers identify racist ideas and learn how to challenge them in their daily lives.

‘Stamped’ offers hope for an antiracist future, and shows that racist ideas can be discredited.

This book can help students examine why racism lingers, and how it's important to be honest about even our heroes.

We are working to develop emerging professionals who are:

confident

well-rounded

tech savvy

creative

critical thinkers

responsible citizens​​

In order to be productive members of society.
