Why Read Woke?
Milton Public Library is participating in the Read Woke Challenge to help the residents of Milton join in the fight to be stronger, more active, and more consistent allies in the fight for racial equality. One way that children learn about the world around them and other cultures is through the social messages found in stories. Stories help children understand how society perceives their culture as well as the cultures of their friends, teachers, caregivers, and others, thereby influencing their social and identity development. Stories can be found in traditional print materials for children or in newer digital formats. Regardless of the format for delivering a story’s message, children are greatly influenced by the stories they encounter.
What Should I Read?
Below are some lists of books available at MPL to get you started on your reading journey. Please note this is not a definitive list.
If you wish to find your own materials, just a reminder that a Woke Book should be by and about marginalized persons, and must:
- Challenge a social norm;
Give voice to the voiceless;
Provide information about a group that has been disenfranchised;
Seek to challenge the status quo;
Have a protagonist from an underrepresented or oppressed group.
