A global pandemic. Social unrest. An election that left democracy hanging in the balance. The year 2020 unfolded, day by day, as an age of reckoning.
As the new year approaches, it feels like we can rest. There’s a COVID-19 vaccine; ongoing discourse on race, gender and class; and a new administration headed for 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Not so fast. Our collective work for anti-racism, equity, science (and, let’s face it, common sense) is far from over. Here are 10 books to pick up in 2021 because the work isn’t done; it’s just getting started.

OGDENSBURG – Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the Marine Toys for Tots program is still making a happier Christmas for about 1,800 St. Lawrence County children this year.
“Our numbers were higher this year due to COVID. For the safety of our volunteers, we chose not to hold any toy drives, but we still placed all the donation boxes through St. Lawrence County,” said volunteer organizer Christina Reynolds.
