- By Sydney Jarrard [6]
In November, the American Booksellers Association’s ABC Children’s Group held a consumer-facing reading series on antiracism and young readers with Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors, author of When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir [7] (St. Martin’s Press).
Bookstores can still sign up to receive a set of five bookplates signed by Cullors [8]. Bookstores can request up to 10 sets of bookplates, while supplies last.
The two-part series [9] was held on Thursday, November 5, and Thursday, November 19, and focused on the young readers edition, When They Call You a Terrorist: A Story of Black Lives Matter and the Power to Change the World [10](Wednesday Books).
The series was moderated by Hannah Oliver Depp, owner of Loyalty Bookstores [11] in Washington, D.C., and Silver Spring, Maryland. Guests included Asha Grant, owner of the emerging, Black-woman owned Salt Eaters Bookshop [12] in Los Angeles, and Tianna Arata, a Black Lives Matter activist arrested during a July 21 protest.
