History lesson

I started reading Shannon LC Cate's blog long before I ever had a son with African heritage, and today I thought I'd look up her recommendations for Books Every White Parent of a Black Child Should Read.  (BTW, Love Isn't Enough is a very helpful resource in general.)  I'm not sure whether I have access to those books, because our small-town library in a majority-white county isn't that strong on African-American titles.  But I could try the college library, then I'd just have to find the time to read them!  In the meantime, I'm actually considering whether I could take the Intro to African American Studies course at the local college....

    I think we may be starting up an online reading group after the holidays that will work through Shannon's list. Let me know if you'd be interested!

    It turns out that ALL of these books are at my local college library! How cool is that? So, yeah, I would LOVE to do a reading group.
