Here are the top 5 books about Black Resistance that librarian Alicia T. recommends for kids and teens.
- The first recommendation starts with two books! Stamped (for Kids) by Sonja Cherry-Paul and Stamped by Jason Reynolds. Stamped (for Kids) is a National Book Award-winning chapter book on racism and anti-racism. Kids can discover people who fought racism with antiracism and learn how to identify and stamp out racist thoughts in their own lives. Stamped takes teens on a journey showing how racist ideas started and spread, and how to discredit them. Both books are available in Spanish with Stamped (para niños) and Stamped.
- Hold Them Close by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow is a celebration of Black children that showcases their past, embracing the present, and reaching for a bright future.
- Resistance Stories from Black History for Kids by Rann Miller gives children an opportunity to learn about little-known facts and figureheads from Black history while fully encapsulating the experiences of the Black and African diaspora. Learn about African enslavement, the Civil Rights Movement, and more historic events.
- Victory. Stand! by Tommie Smith is a graphic memoir about Olympic gold medal winner Tommie Smith’s athletic career and his fight for civil rights. This memoir takes you through Tommie's life as a child in Texas, up to his Olympic victory and protest of racial injustice inflicted upon African Americans.
- Revolution in Our Time by Kekla Magoon is a compelling book that shares the history of the Black Panther party as a revolutionary movement. The Black Panther party became a target of one of the most sustained repression efforts ever made by the U.S. government against its own citizens. Magoon’s work invites a new generation of readers to learn from the Panther’s history and courage.
Bonus book: Overground Railroad by Lesa Cline-Ransom is a story about a girl named Ruth Anne and her family’s journey as part of the Great Migration from North Carolina to New York City.
