I feel the Read in Color program is extremely important, especially in the diverse and underserved areas of East Dallas.
When we understand and love people by sharing their stories (both tragic and triumphant), we can change the world. I also am concerned about the recent posts and trend to ban Christian books. It smacks of historical hate repeating. Trail of tears, Slavery, Genocide, WWII, Armenia. Remember. Don’t repeat.
Everyone should learn about other people. It is fun and understanding each other’s experiences will build understanding
and appreciation in our country.
I am Native American, and support stories about – and by our minority community
I live in a diverse community and would like all the people in my community to feel welcome at. my little library!
All people have more in common than in difference. Our diversity just makes us stronger!
Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to books and characters that reflect the world around them.
We believe that all people should be able to see themselves in books. We at the United Methodist Church embrace the call to eradicate all ‘isms and partner with our community to celebrate each person as a child of God.
Diverse ideas foster better communities; books are one avenue to spread that diversity.
