| A Is for Ally, Advocate, Anti-Racist, Ancestors, and Assembly Using simple explanations and appealing illustrations in a familiar A-to-Z format, The Young Activist's Dictionary of Social Justice will teach kids the new vocabulary of change. Developed in collaboration with Ryse Tottingham, LGBTQ+ advocate and antibias, anti-racist educator, this essential new resource is packed with easily understandable definitions of timely concepts.
