Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jason Reynolds' remix of the Kendi's Stamped from the Beginning challenges the history pushed by our nationalist fervor. As a society, we often lift our founders to extreme heights without realizing their faults, hatred, and shortcomings. Reynolds and Kendi expose the truth behind the ways the founding of our country was steeped in racism and hatred through a lens that is accessible to all readers. It truly is a must read for any and all over the age of 10 and would provide an excellent way for communities to discuss our shortcomings as a society. Also, the reading list at the end of the book allows curious readers to pursue a more in depth and fully realized history of our country.
