Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You: A Remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped from the Beginning

Y'all. This book is eye-opening and informational and inspiring. I listened to the audiobook and if you can, DO IT! Jason Reynolds reading his own writing is amazing. His flow and power and verve is great. I'm also going to read the physical copy of this book and I'll more than likely read the original by Dr. Ibram X Kendi. I want to read his full research.

Read it and allow yourself to be convicted and uncomfortable. You are more than likely reading this book because you want to know the real history and how you can do more than scroll and post your opinions on social media. Let yourself feel uncomfortable or guilty. And then do something to change yourself and uplift those that have been oppressed.

Should be required reading for students and their teachers.

I read this as it is part of the home school curriculum I will be using with my grandson. It is clearly written and very engaging, and includes lots of facts I was not aware of. Now he can read this one, and I will need to read the adult version- Stamped from the Beginning - to Get the historical details in more depth.

Must read

I thought this would be a mini version of Stamped from the Beginning for children but that’s completely wrong. This is very much its own book, excellent for adults and teens alike. It was packed on every page with facts and thoughtful analysis, likely the result of amazing writing and tight editing. I can’t recommend it enough.
