Mel Hopkins Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Tired of the school's reading list filled with white boy and dog protagonist, Marley Dias kicked off her own hashtag #1000BlackGirlBooks which features Black girls as stars of their stories.

Mel Hopkins Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 It's still displaying on my end - but I guess that's because it's in my pc. Let me edit again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 OK I'm glad the image insertion is now working. That was a problem before I migrated the board to the new server. Yes this young lady has gained a lot of attention as of late. Her Mother, Dr. Janice Johnson Dias' not-for-profit, GrassROOTS Community Foundation (cofounded by Black Thought of the Roots) is her platform. Their not-for-profit has substantial corporate backing; supporters include Red Bull (who knew?) and many others. GrassROOTS (you know the "ROOTS" name just now dawned on me..duh), seem to be doing great things in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDBurns Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Once again Troy, the cosign by the Roots is generating this attention. You have to get that cosign to gain ground in the mainstream media. This is good news however. Becoming Fallon's houseband is creating unlimited opportunities for the Roots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
