While Black History Month is still an essential educational process in America, the experiences of Afro-Americans needs to be included in curricula throughout the year.

I currently volunteer as a librarian for my children’s school and I include books about African Americans, Indians, Asians, and women year-round.

There is no way to encapsulate a peoples’ story in 29 days. The information must be ongoing.

Going to follow and like you )

I teach at the college level and when I am teaching, I exhort my students to learn about, know, and follow Banks & Banks’ 5 stages of multiculturalism. I urge my students to not read books about a person or culture only during a certain month, but to truly integrate all cultures during the whole school year, work to educate themselves and teach including various lenses (for example “American History,” which includes that of blacks, women, Chinese, Native Americans and others), as well as addressing racism, sexism, economic injustice, and social issues including homophobia.

I liked Lee & Low on Facebook.

I’m so thrilled to know Lee & Low stepped in to continue Children’s Book Press’s legacy. Will the imprint be managed from New York, or will CBP continue to exist in San Francisco?
