Amy Bollwan is a blogger on the School Library Journal’s website and has been hosting the Writers Against Racism series.
I think it’s an important series and due to popular demand, Amy is continuing the series featuring writers of all races and backgrounds who want to end prejudice and racism. It’s been very enlightening to read.
I especially loved reading some of my writer friend interviews, such as Kelly Starling Lyons,
Paula Chase Hyman, Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, Varian Johnson, Don Tate, Mary Ann Rodman, and Neesha Meminger to name a few.
I learned so much about them and their experiences. I also learned that every experience is unique in itself and how it affects the writer’s world view.
You should definitely go over and read the other posts featuring writers from all backgrounds and cultures. The series focuses on these writers’ experiences with racism and how it has affected their lives, but most importantly, what they are doing to eradicate it.
