The Museum Educator will be reading The Undefeated written by Newbery Award-wining author, Kwame Alexander and illustrated by two-time Caldecott Honoree, Kadir Nelson. “This is a love letter to America. To black America. To the grit, passion, and perseverance of our greatest artists, athletes, and activists. To the dreamers. To the strength and bravery of everyday people caught in the web of history. With references to lyrics and lines originally shared by our most celebrated heroes, this poem digs into the not-so-distant past to underline the endurance and spirit of those surviving and thriving in the present.”
