Books, Dr. Thomishia Booker, sit with Roy Wood Jr. to discuss the importance of positively representing Black boys in children’s literature to help them develop their own sense of self.   Watch the Original Segment:  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YO2q7l6zEA&amp;t=100s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YO2q7l6zEA&amp;t=100s</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
