Tennessee State Library and Archives is pleased to<span style="color:#0070C0"> </span>
host a webinar Thursday, July 9<sup>th</sup> at 2-3:30 pm CST on <b><u>Tackling Racism in Classic Children’s Literature.</u>
</b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We all know that there are outdated and racist classics on our shelves. These books reflect a homogenous past, yet they still thrive in an ostensibly multicultural present. How do we hold fast to intellectual freedom while
solidifying our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness? Nashville Public Library spent a year asking that question and the resulting work can be replicated by other libraries seeking to apply an anti-racist lens to their collections. Join us as Klem-Marí
Cajigas and Lindsey Patrick-Wright offer insight and suggestions for us to re-evaluate our own collections.
</span>This webinar was previously presented as a session at both<span style="color:#0070C0">
</span>TLA’s 2019 Annual Conference and at the 2020 PLA Conference.</p>
