#ReadWoke Pin Giveaway

#ReadWoke Pin Giveaway

We’re pleased to support Cicely Lewis’s #ReadWoke movement, encouraging students to read books that challenge social norms and build understanding of disenfranchised groups.

Update: our giveaway is now closed!

More information about Cicely’s project is here. (There’s also a great list of books on her site, of course.)

What makes a book fit into #ReadWoke? Well, to quote Cicely, the book must:

  • Challenge a social norm
  • Tell the side of the oppressed
  • Provide information about a group that has been disenfranchised
  • Seek to challenge the status quo
  • Shed light on an issue that many may not perceive as being an issue
