This book highlights the work of Rise for Racial Justice, an organization that launched a public racial literacy campaign in 2020 when the nation's interest in exploring the history and present reality of anti-Black police violence was at a high. Protests following the murder of George Floyd focused the public's attention on anti-Black racism, sparking calls for racial justice. There was a resulting demand for antiracism training to help make sense of the ongoing twin pandemics of anti-Black racism and White supremacy. This book makes a unique contribution to the discussion about antiracism training for K-12 school communities. In Rise for Racial Justice: How to Talk About Race With Schools and Communities, the authors draw on the experiences of antiracism facilitators as they teach about race, racism, and racial justice. This book shares curricula, pedagogical strategies, tools, and practices that support the learning and engagement of educators and youth learners. Book Features: Examples of curricula and suggested pedagogy for antiracism training geared toward teachers and other adults in leadership and/or parenting roles. Tools to help school communities talk about race and racism, as well as practices for pursuing racial justice. Practical, narrative-based advice about the opportunities and challenges of engaging in antiracism training.

It is the summer of 1962 and Harv Sullivan has delivered his family to Hyannis Port's elite Honeysuckle Inn where each family member will embark on a month long journey revolving around Harv's unwavering American dream: to live like a Kennedy. Harv's son, Jack, soon discovers that the glossy Honeysuckle Inn brochure fails to capture what happens behind the scenes of the affluent men and women socializing at the clambakes and cocktail parties. And the lavish bedroom photos are erased clean of the darkness that even the wealthiest of families come to know. While the brochure's parting guest photo reads: See you next summer beneath a throng of beaming faces, not every guest leaves the Honeysuckle with a smile, though a few will fight to leave with integrity. For Jack, the Honeysuckle Inn has been made bearable by a deep and unexpected friendship with a blithe Southern blonde, Isabelle Whitney. But his friendship with Isabelle is just the beginning of what Jack discovers that summer. Join him on the Cape, if only in your imagination, as you read a story that begins with people striving to make grand impressions, and ends with Jack's life having been impressed upon in the most meaningful ways, through friends turned family, through powerful first love, and through a startling loss.
