The Other Talk by Brendan Kiely
Talking about racism can be hard, but… Most kids of color grow up talking about racism. They have “The Talk” with their families — the honest talk about survival in a racist world. But white kids don’t. They’re barely spoken to about race at all — and that needs to change. Because not talking about racism doesn’t make it go away. Not talking about white privilege doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

When Can We Go Back To America? by Susan H. Kamei
It’s difficult to believe it happened here. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the United States government forcibly removed more than 120,000 persons of Japanese ancestry from the Pacific Coast and imprisoned them in desolate detention camps until the end of World War II. In what Secretary Norman Y. Mineta describes as a landmark book; he and others who lived through this harrowing experience tell the story of their incarceration and the long-term impact of this dark period in American history. For the first time, why and how these tragic events took place are interwoven with more than 130 individual voices of those who were unconstitutionally incarcerated, many of them children and young adults.
