Dr. Ibram X. Kendi Discusses Antiracist Baby at MahoganyBooks
By MahoganyBooks
We are honored to welcome Dr. Ibram X. Kendi to MahoganyBooks Front Row for such a time as this. Join us for a powerful community conversation from the comfort of your own home, about being an anti-racist and his new book for little ones, Antiracist Baby.
"Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America--but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it."
The Author: Dr. Ibram X. Kendi is a New York Times bestselling author and the founding director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University. A professor of history and international relations and a frequent public speaker, Kendi is a contributing writer at The Atlantic. He is the author of THE BLACK CAMPUS MOVEMENT, which won the W.E.B. Du Bois Book Prize, and STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING: THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF RACIST IDEAS IN AMERICA, which won the National Book Award for Nonfiction. At 34 years old, he was the youngest ever winner of the NBA for Nonfiction.
The Book: With bold art and thoughtful yet playful text, Antiracist Baby introduces the youngest readers and the grown-ups in their lives to the concept and power of antiracism. Providing the language necessary to begin critical conversations at the earliest age, Antiracist Baby is the perfect gift for readers of all ages dedicated to forming a just society.
The Host: Derrick A. Young is Co-Founder/Co-Owner of MahoganyBooks and proud Bowie State Alum. Young is a history buff, proud father and enjoys learning to DJ in his own home.
