“Books can make a difference in dispelling prejudice and building community: not with role models and recipes, not with noble messages about the human family, but with enthralling stories that make us imagine the lives of others. A good story lets you know people as individuals in all their particularity and conflict; and once you see someone as a person—flawed, complex, striving—you’ve reached beyond stereotype.” StoriesLiteratureCommunityBooksEmpathyRacismPrejudiceCommunicateStereotypeMessageBanned Book Author:Hazel Rochman
