Books create belonging. They help us see each other, and understand one another. That& #39;s why every young person should have the chance to study books reflecting the racial diversity of UK society. This is how we want to contribute to that vision. #LitInColour (1/4)
We’re excited to join forces with @RunnymedeTrust to commission major new research, as well as the Black Writers’ Guild, @TeachFirst, @Literacy_Trust and partner schools. Change happens when we work together. We add our voices to a movement built over years, by many. (2/4)
Over the next few years our #LitInColour programme will support brilliant teachers making change on the ground to develop an inclusive #EnglishLit #curriculum and increase student access to books by writers of colour. https://penguin.co.uk/litincolour ">https://penguin.co.uk/litincolo... (3/4)
