These maps determined whether a neighborhood was a “safe” or “risky” investment for the bank. Neighborhoods where people of color lived were often labeled as high risk and were outlines in red. This practice reinforced racial and economic segregation by keeping people of color from accessing the same financial opportunities. This story gently unpacks redlining, racial segregation, and community resilience in a way kids can understand. But most importantly, it reminds children that while systems may fail us, community will always come together to uplift each other. *I actually learned a lot about redlining from this picture book, reinforcing my stance that picture books are truly for all ages. Featuring *Main Street: A Community Story About Redlining* by @britthawthorne and @tiffanymjewell, Illustrated by David Wilkerson. Thank you to @penguinkids @kokilabooks for sharing this one with me ‼️ Comment COMMUNITY for this book, and check your DMs for a link ‼️"
