Thank you for letting us know that you stand by our commitment to feature children's books by and about people of color and not to sell Limbaugh's "history" books for children. While the attack by Limbaugh has been very visible, the crisis caused by mega corporate publishers and Amazon has a more devastating impact
on the publication and availability of multicultural children's literature.
In the last five years, only 10% of children's books published were about people of color. Our bookstore can continue to fight against this trend, but we cannot do it without your help. It will take sustained support from you and your networks to keep our progressive bookstore in operation and to build the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign. Read more voices of support. Read news stories. |
