What Hope Is
Cline-Ransome talks about the importance of hope in the history of Black people and the role it plays in children's literature. Hope is activism. It is a steadfast belief in direct contrast to one's current existence. Throughout history the lives of Black people have embraced hope as a means of survival. When denied freedom, access, quality education, land, civil rights, and safety, they continued to embrace hope by fighting every day, never giving up, never giving in. For Black people, hope was a means of imagining a future for themselves and the generations that followed. It is vital to young readers that the children's literature industry highlights the crucial role that hope plays in the stories they choose to publish. Elevating, expanding, and celebrating a true range of human experiences, stories, and voices means that no story is a forgotten story. Hope is not just a wish; it's also a call to action utilized by those who not only demanded change but also devoted their lives to making change happen.
