For Black History Month, we called on teachers and librarians to send in pictures of the books and resources they used to celebrate the month. Educators flooded the #BlackHistoryBookshelf hashtag with impressive snaps of their bookshelves and school library displays. Here are some of our favorite “shelfies” shared by readers.
