Little Black Lives Matter

“I’m so excited about Little Black Lives Matter. These are the stories of the true radicals and revolutionaries—many of whom are too often excluded from mainstream histories. Dill weaves in their words to tell their stories. Poetically written and meticulously researched, Little Black Lives Matter takes it to the next level.”
—Innosanto Nagara, author of A is for Activist

“What a beautiful and poetic book to inspire our children–stories of those who came before them, figures from our history who led and transformed and mattered–and made our world a better place.”
—Khary Lazarre-White, author of Passage and Executive Director & Co-Founder of The Brotherhood Sister Sol

“An ode to Black children, affirming their worth and teaching them about those who walked the path of greatness ahead of them… . The words and actions of 15 remarkable Black figures are subsequently presented, including those who are commonly found in children’s history books, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, and others who are not, such as gay liberation activist Marsha P. Johnson, whose vibrant likeness is featured on the book’s cover, and Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party.”
