Remi Kalir and co-author Antero Garcia have written an Op-Ed about #SharpieActivism and the book “Melissa” for the organization We Need Diverse Books. Featuring commentary and media from educators who have annotated their copies of “Melissa,” the piece also includes interview excerpts from author Alex Gino who discusses how: “One of the most active things you can do to a book is to literally change the book for the next person who reads it. To engage with it. To leave your mark on it. With a marker.”
