Los libros de Read Woke™ fueron creados en colaboración con Cicely Lewis, bibliotecaria de Read Woke. Inspirados en la creencia de que el conocimiento es poder, los libros de Read Woke buscan amplificar las voces de las personas de la mayoría global (personas con ascendencia africana, árabe, asiática y latinoamericana y que se identifican como no blancas), brindar información sobre los grupos que fueron despojados de sus derechos, difundir las perspectivas de las personas que han sido poco representadas u oprimidas, cuestionar las normas sociales, alterar el estado de las cosas y fomentar que los lectores actúen en sus comunidades.
The Transcontinental Railroad connected the United States, but it also created divisions. It displaced Native Americans and disrupted their trade and hunting. Chinese workers broke barriers but also faced terrible conditions working on the railroad. They stood up and fought for better conditions by walking off the job. Learn more about the lasting legacy of the railroad, how Chinese workers are now being honored, and more.
