Marley Dias is a leading revolution.
Frustrated with the lack of diversity in her reading curriculum, the 11-year-old New Jersey student started a campaign called #1000BlackGirlBooks, which collects and donates books in which black girls are the main characters
The goal is to collection 1,000 titles by February 11, when Marley and two fellow student organizers will travel to St. Mary, Jamaica to deliver the books and host a book fair. The campaign will also compile a guide with the book titles, authors and age groups of collected books.
