Gr 4–8—This six-part series explores various historical and social aspects of slavery, abolition, and resistance, while also inspiring readers to take action in their own communities. Curated by Woke Librarian Cicely Lewis, these books confront bias by centering the experiences of non-white groups through personal accounts of historically oppressed communities. QR codes lead readers to supplementary learning materials, including recorded accounts of formerly enslaved people. This series' strength is its unfiltered and critical representation of a variety of primary and secondary sources for readers to evaluate and explore both inside and outside the context of topics covered in each book. The intersectionality and complexity of these historical topics are presented in a way that maximizes creative thinking while also inspiring action and positive change. VERDICT An essential purchase for any library.
