Reading is a blessing for everyone to share and enjoy celebrating our diversities and backgrounds.
I’m taking this pledge because it is so important to get outside our comfort zones in all aspects of our lives. Reading is a great way to start being more diverse.
I believe in diversity. I love the authors who are tackling tough issues. Antiracict Baby is a personal favorite.
I am taking the Read In Color Pledge because I believe everyone is special and unique in there own way. I want people in my community to know they are welcome no matter who they are, what race or color they are or who they love.
