Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Hope you are spending the day reflecting on his message of peace, love, equality and hope.
I have been roaming around the blogosphere and have stumbled upon a couple of great things.
The Brown Bookshelf has just announced their 28 Days Later class of 2010. It spotlights authors and illustrators of color throughout the month of Februaury. Check it out if you get a chance.
On the Reading in Color blog, the creator (a teenage girl) has taken Bloomsbury to task for once again portraying a dark-skinned character on the cover of a book as white. (Do they think we just won't notice??) You Go Little Sister!!!!
Finally, just a couple of awesome sites that kick-ass.
The Happy Nappy Bookseller
White Readers, Meet Black Authors
So much going on. Please remeber those in Haiti and everywhere who are suffering. Peace. Until next time.

Thank you for stopping by Reading in Color and linking to my letter and for the enocuragement. I wish you the very best with your debut novel and Olugbemisola is amazing (I interviewed her on my blog recently and she's so great).
And I didn't know the Brown bookshelf had the 28 Days Later up yet, so I'm off to go visit that, thanks :)
So great to meet you sassy girl. Keep up the awesome work. You are the future!!
