Living in South Texas, I often find myself finding books based on our Hispanic cultures. I purchase them everywhere I can find them. My students love seeing characters they can relate to, but I am not able to find books about all of our cultures and races represented at our campus. In addition, I don't often find books that discuss the struggles and injustices people of color often have to face.
My students need books that emphasize the struggles and injustices that Americans have had to face because of their skin color.
Happy stories are great, but we need real stories of the diversity faced by people of color in America. For some of my students, they will find characters they can relate to, for others, they will learn that many races have to fight inequalities. This will help to create a generation of humans who care about others. People who embrace our unique cultures and difference, yet treat everyone equally with respect and understanding.
