The BC Human Rights Commissioner started a book club focused on human rights, and asked us to share this with our network.
This inspired Write to Read BC volunteer Gordon Yusko to ask Indigenous publishers for their favourite books about human rights. Alison at GoodMinds.com—a Write to Read BC sponsor—suggested the following, for different types of readers.
