BLACK HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 6

Wednesday, February 7, 2024

“The newspaper encouraged displaced entrepreneurs to open businesses in South Tulsa and continue smashing color barriers. But it also spoke to a larger argument about how the definition of black success had changed from building up your own community in the era of Jim Crow to ‘getting out’ to chase bigger opportunities in the formerly all-white world.” – Victor Luckerson, Built from the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, America’s Black Wall Street

📚Thanks to @kidlitexchange #partner for this review copy of Charlie Takes His Shot, the story of how Charlie Sifford broke the color barrier in golf. Written by Nancy Churnin, Illustrated by John Joven @jjovenart and published by @albertwhitman - All opinions are my own📚 I will admit I'm not a golf fan but I appreciate the history in this book and the change his perseverance accomplished! Some of the bigger issues were a little over my 3 and 6 year olds head but they understood it was not fair to exclude him and they felt pride that he won in the end. It was a wordier picture book but still managed to hold their attention throughout. The illustrations are great and I love the extras in the back including resources and timeline. ⭐Released Jan 2018- Available on Amazon, here's my affiliate link: https://amzn.to/2GCOsMC⭐ #charliesifford #charlietakeshisshot #nancychurnin #johnjoven #kidlitexchange #colorbarrier #civilrights #africanamerican #sports #golf #picturebook #childrensbook #pga #childrensillustration #perserverance #bethechange #standupforwhatsright #equality
