“TELL ME WHO YOU ARE” by Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi. These two young authors “recount their experiences talking to people about race and identity on a cross-country tour of the United States.” Guo & Vulchi are co-founders of the organization CHOOSE that provides tools to talk about race and identities in the US, and published a racial literacy textbook for educators called The Classroom Index, which was endorsed by Princeton University.
Guo and Vulchi are also TED speakers and became the youngest TED Residents ever in spring 2008, before entering college.

You do not need to finish the entire book! Please read the introduction and a few stories to join this discussion!
