As a school...Elisa's Gall piece is a must read. As a school administrator, it's disappointing to see that some of the leaders in the publishing world can't take a litle critique when it comes to their own white privilege. How ironic, right? Thanks for fighting the good fight. No matter what white people say, we have had enough of their "takes" on slavery. It was irresponsible to include enslavement and not name it. And to trivialize enslavement with a antidote of "dessert" really, really underestimates children and what they should know and understand in the world. Kids are smarter than that and should be treated with respect, not the condescension of a white author's attempt to address enslavement (but not name it) by showing Black people eating dessert in a closet.
