I am an anti-racist educator who believes that students have the right to learn that the United States has a multicultural history. Students need to learn history from multiple, diverse perspectives in order to grow their own thinking. Books are "windows" and "mirrors" for students and by having a diverse library of books to supplement our traditional U.S. history textbook, students will be able to connect with and learn new stories about the important events and diverse people who shaped our country. This will allow students to have a more accurate understanding of U.S. history, while also ensuring they hear from BIPOC voices. "Helping students to see the past more clearly, to understand and communicate with others more fully in the present, and to imagine the future more justly is to transform the world." This quote by Beverly Daniel Tatum, PhD from the book Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria perfectly represents the importance of my project. My goal is that by providing students with a variety of historical texts, students will be able to read diverse stories that matter, have discussions about what they have read, and use their knowledge history of our country to help them to work towards creating a better future for us all. My students and I will read these books together during our time distance learning and when we are able to come back to our classroom. Students will also be able to borrow the books to take home. By reading and discussing these texts, my hope is that my kids may become change agents who will help our country become a country that is truly fair and just for all.
