Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You is a vital read for our young people, and adapted from Ibram X. Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning, which won the National Book Award. Trevor Noah declared Stamped should be in every classroom, and I couldn't agree more. Though our core Social Studies curriculum has become more culturally inclusive over the years, it still falls short. Stamped will be extremely useful in exploring the history of racism in our country and what we can do to become antiracist.
The book Stamped will be read throughout the year as a core text, and be used as the foundation for social justice projects. I teach social studies to all the eighth graders in my building, and I also teach one college level course of African American history to seniors. Eighth graders are learning about early American history, which pairs perfectly with Stamped. All students will use what they learned from Stamped to inform their culminating research projects. Students will present ideas to the school board (which recently drafted an antiracist policy), or relevant stake holders on how to create a more just and equitable community. My hope is their learning from Stamped, and their passion for a better tomorrow will effect change.
