This book is a remix of Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's award-winning 'Stamped from the Beginning,' rewritten by Jason Reynolds to speak directly to young readers. It's not a history book, but a fast-paced story about ideas—specifically, racist ideas. The book traces where these ideas came from, how they spread, and how they can be dismantled, taking you on a journey from 1415 to the present day. It challenges you to identify racist thoughts in history, in society, and even in yourself, and gives you the tools to become an antiracist.
