Dear Fox Hills Residents,

THERE ARE 44 GRADUATING SENIORS IN FOX HILLS! Plus more middle school graduates coming up the ladder! Fox Hills Neighborhood Association hung a banner up for all graduates at the intersection of Green Valley and Buckingham Pkwy from June 12 – 17. Please stop by with your graduate for a photo op! Congratulations class of 2020!

NICE IDEA: Put up a poster in your building honoring your graduates, they would appreciate your support!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER:     During these most crucial times in our nation it is vital that we are all engaged in confronting systemic racism in our country that has lasted way too long.  In keeping with that aim here are some suggested books and resources to help in moving forward to promote equal justice. It is hardly meant to be an exhaustive list and merely some suggestions.  They are as follows:  BOOKS FOR ADULTS AND TEENS: The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson How to be an Anti-Racist by Ibram X. Kendi The Black Cabinet: The Untold Story of African Americans and Politics During the Age of Roosevelt by Jill Watts BOOKS FOR CHILDREN AND TWEENS:  Raise Your Voice: 12 Protests That Shaped America by Jeffrey Kluger What Can a Citizen Do? by Dave Eggers Can I Touch Your Hair? by Irene Latham ** For additional book suggestions go to lapl.org/BlackLivesMatter LEGISLATIVE SPOTLIGHT:  CURRENT UPDATES FROM YOUR ELECTED FEDERAL AND STATE REPRESENTATIVES: Federal:   Representative Karen Bass, 37th District and head of the Congressional Black Caucus:   bass.house.gov.
