Hello and thanks for liking our page! Black Lives Matter at Little Free Library is a movement to try to give everyone in our community access to antiracist literature. By filling Rochester’s Little Free Libraries with books that promote antiracism, we hope to create dialogue in our Rochester community about how to unlearn and relearn racism, understand white privilege, and become strong allies. Everyone should have access to this literature, and these libraries provide access for all regardless of economic status and in a way that promotes social distancing.
