September 10, 2018 Dear Jones Students, Welcome back! An especially warm welcome to the freshmen! African American Racial Justice Book List 2018 2019 I am pleased to start the year with the new tradition of an annual book list that will be promoted in the library throughout the school year. I strongly urge everybody in the Jones community to consider these books to inform yourselves of the many challenges that cry out for attention and action, to inspire important discussions in our classrooms and clubs, and to inspire inquiries in the context of class projects. I hope to create a few events related to this year’s theme. Feedback about this initiative is welcome! Moving forward I will welcome the entire Jones community work together in the second semester to establish the next year’s theme and titles.
