China Took His City. And Now His Father. When pro-democracy protesters marched in the streets in Hong Kong in 2019, China responded by arresting thousands, including the leaders of the movement. One of the arrested was Jimmy Lai, who had used his newspaper to campaign for democracy. This month, he received a 20-year jail sentence. In an interview, Michael Barbaro speaks to Mr. Lai’s son, Sebastien Lai, about the sentence, what it means for the pro-democracy movement and where Hong Kong may go from here. Guest: Sebastien Lai, a democracy activist and the son of the pro-democracy media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai. Background reading: A Hong Kong court sentenced Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison. The sentence for the media mogul shows how Hong Kong enforces Xi Jinping’s red lines with a new severity. Listen to our interview with Jimmy Lai from 2020.

Afrofuturism in Books and Programming for Children Every January, before Black History Month, my town hosts Afrofuturism Week. This year, I noticed my favorite local bookstore put up a display dedicated to Afrofuturistic literature. Books by my favorite author, Octavia E. Butler, were present and accounted for. Of course. But the cover of one book in particular stood out: How Long ‘Til Black Future Month? by N.K. Jemisin. How Long ‘Til Black Future Month? The cover of How Long ‘Til Black Future Month? features a Black child with their curls gathered into a faux hawk and adorned with sculptural objects made of wood-like fibers. Light from an unknown source gilds the curls that frame the child’s face and they wear two strands of chunky wool beads. Instead of a cold future, the image offers one of warmth. I am not proud that, thanks to a bachelor’s degree in art history and a previous career in layout design,... The post Afrofuturism in Books and Programming for Children appeared first on ALSC Blog.
