Bookmarks, the group behind the annual book festival, plans to use literature to fuel a community-wide initiative against racism.
The literary arts nonprofit organization and independent bookstore hopes to bring the community together throughout the summer in conversations about racism through the Book with Purpose effort.
âWeâre working with dozens of community partners on programming throughout the summer for kids and adults,â Jamie Rogers Southern, executive director of Bookmarks,â said after a press conference at Bookmarks on Friday.
This summer program will start with the book âStamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in Americaâ by Ibram X. Kendi.
