“As a former public health student at Mailman, I’ve been reading about the virus—about transmission rates, viral load, serums, etc. I find it fascinating, as it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event for many of us. More importantly, since the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many other Black people across America, I've been focused on reading a range of books with my elementary school–age daughter on how to be antiracist: The Gospel in Color—For Kids, by Curtis A. Woods and Jarvis J. Williams; Antiracist Baby, by Ibram X. Kendi; and ColorFull: Celebrating the Colors God Gave Us, by Dorena Williamson. We read these books together because many of the terms and concepts, until now, are foreign to her and need quite a bit of explaining and discussion.”
