"This is a touching story of a child who recognizes that she’s not being represented in museums, so she creates her own museum that represents her family and her community. A lot of people can identify with this story. Children of color need to recognize that they have the power to make change. All children need to recognize that, when they observe injustice happening, they can do something to change it. It’s important for African Americans to take on their own struggles and have white allies to support them. I want children to understand, from a very young age, that we all have to work together for a better tomorrow."
