VILLAGE VOICE
Testimonials
I just bought a copy as a gift for my niece and nephew, and one for my teenage kids too! It'll be a fun companion to the adult resource we have at home on the same subject. I plan to share this book with my local homeschooling communities, too. I cannot wait to read it myself and will update my review when I do -- but I know Chemay Morales-James and her work as an educator and pioneer in creating safe black and brown spaces for learning, growing, and liberation from the kinds of oppression that ban such truth-telling books as these. Her work has inspired conversations, communities and collaborations that build upon the work of those (like the Black Panthers) who came before. The mindful integrity with which she walks through life surely has created an outstanding book that should be in every library, bookstore and family bookshelf. Especially now as we fight to raise consciousness against those who would ban such uplifting and inspiring true black histories and seek to sustain and support all children to thrive.

CHILDREN'S BOOK
The ABCs of the
Black Panther Party
Originally published in 2017, the 2nd edition of The ABC's of the Black Panther Party (BPP) includes a special link to a FREE, colorful, 14 page, digital, parent-teacher activity guide.
The ABCs of the Black Panther Party (BPP) uses the alphabet and rhyming to provide children with an introduction to the BPP from a decolonized or anti-oppressive viewpoint. Additional historical facts are provided on each page for more advanced readers or for younger children who want to know more about the events and individuals brought up in the poetic verses.
