No More Dr. Seuss: Here Are 14 Black Authored Rhyming Books

- Advertisement -spot_img

Last week was Read Across America Week 2018 and Dr. Suess’s Birthday. Many Black parents and teachers were torn about celebrating Dr. Suess with his sordid history of racist cartoons. One can argue that he (allegedly) changed his views and turned over a new leaf, but should his birthday be celebrated? Should we as African Americans be reading literature from a man who at one point considered our people and children subhuman? I think not. This year and forever more Read Across America Day will be celebrated with no mention of Seuss and should incorporate these 14 Black Authored Rhyming Books!
