Ibram X. Kendi Instagram – When I visited Atlanta to speak about #Barracoon recently, I not only had a spirited conversation with author @kimberlylatricejones at the local public library. I had the absolute honor of speaking at two different events before hundreds of Atlanta area students who received copies of #Barracoon, thanks to Page Turners Make Great Leaners, @braveandkindbooks, and courageous district leaders, principals, and teachers. At one middle school, the students created a collage and another intricate portrait with fingerprints. The students peppered me with questions about how I became a writer and what is my writing process. I think you would have been proud. To witness the love of writers and the love of reading among these young people. Our young people are going to be alright. Now, the non-reading, book-banning adults on the other hand. . .
