Virtual Author Talk: Tiffany Jewell

Join us as #1 New York Times bestselling author Tiffany Jewell highlights the inequities Black and Brown students face from preschool through college as described in her new book, Everything I Learned About Racism I Learned in School.  The book focuses on the experiences she and other Black and Brown students face as a direct result of the systemic racism built into schools across the United States. Throughout the book, other writers of the global majority share a wide variety of personal narratives and stories based on their own school experiences.

Everything I Learned About Racism I Learned in School provides young people with the context to think critically about and chart their own course through their current schooling—and any future schooling they may pursue.
