DC school librarians Eboni Henry and Christopher Stewart – both members of WTU 6 – are featured in last week’s School Library Journal article, “Black Librarians on Making a Difference.” “Everybody’s not a rapper, a singer, or an actress,” says Henry (at left in photo), a Media Specialist at Truesdell Elementary. “You can be a librarian. You can be a teacher. You can be a construction manager.” “It’s important that we have Black librarians because we represent this society and our world,” says Stewart, a librarian at Bell Multicultural High School. “When we’re not represented in the field, our voices aren’t heard, and our stories aren’t being told.” Comments are closed.
