Our Springboard: Taylor and Jacqueline Woodson
Woodson's contemporary works (Miracle's Boys; Peace, Locomotion; Harbor Me, et al.) show this, too-the weight still carried by Black communities into this new century. Show Way, a picture book about her ancestors, carries readers through American history in a way that resonates beyond one family. Taylor's work was groundbreaking because it cut through the distancing noise of our history books to bring us close to the struggles of one family, to let us feel that past, to allow us to walk the land alongside the Logans and imbue us with their hope.

Our Foundation, The Trailblazing Work of Mildred D
Magoon reflects on the works of Legacy Award winner Mildred D. Taylor and Coretta Scott King Author Award winner Jacqueline Woodson. When you look at Taylor's or Woodson's individual bodies of work, they are remarkable and groundbreaking. Taken together, they form a powerful foundation that all the Black writers working today are fortunate enough to stand on. Quite simply, they bring Blackness to life on the page. And as such, the power of their work cannot be overstated. It is simple to say this truth here and now, but far less simple to deliver it with the beauty and precision that these authors employ in their craft. They artfully capture the moments, small and large, that make us who we are.
