The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committees of Aiken, Charter Oak, and Norfelt invite you to a book discussion of Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi on Tuesday, February 23rd from 6:30-7:30pm by Zoom. Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You (A Remix Of Stamped from the Beginning) is a book about the history of race and racist ideas in America. Best-selling young adult author Jason Reynolds took Ibram X Kendi's Stamped and made it accessible for younger people (and adults) while maintaining its focus on the complexities of racist ideas and their pervasiveness in our culture. This book is not written like a typical history book; instead it provides an overview of how racial constructs and attitudes were developed for the purposes of power. During our meeting, we will discuss ways parents can stamp out racism in our own lives and communities.

For an overview of the book and its intended audience, check out this 6 minute interview of the authors on The Daily Show.  

A few limited number of book copies will be available upon request. A free audiobook version is available through the West Hartford Public Library. 

Please register by February 12th here.
