Anya Cordell, local SPIRIT OF ANNE FRANK Award recipient/author, tackles “APPEARANCE-ISM”, (appearance-based judging of ourselves and others) and discusses/signs her book, RACE: An OPEN & SHUT Case, at Borders Books
RACE: An OPEN & SHUT Case is a small double-sided book, with a big mission, for kids and adults. It literally “flips” traditional preconceptions about race and appearance-based judgments, upside-down! Cordell tackles “appearance-ism” in a fresh way, revealing her journey from a beauty and fashion obsessed teen to an award winning anti-bias activist. She transforms children who tease and those who are teased, and she inspires adults to reevaluate old stereotypes, in a most surprising fashion.
