Can’t recommend this book enough. Thank you to @oneworldbooks.bsky.social for the advanced readers copy.
#booksky💙📚 Book 11 of the year: Original Sins by Eve L Ewing. Comes out this week and I highly recommend. Required reading for educators. Explores our propaganda based education system and its intentions to force the erasure and disappearance of Black and Indigenous people.
