CHAMPIONS OF READING AND REPRESENTATION Total Equity Now dedicates each Literacy Across Harlem March to the memory of two Harlem literacy superstars, Walter Dean Myers and Pura Belpré! Walter Dean Myers (1937-2014), who grew up in Harlem and went on to write more than 100 books for children and young adults, dedicated his life to making sure Black and Brown young people saw themselves, our families, our communities, and our cultural and ethnic backgrounds reflected in literature. Pura Belpré (1899-1982), amazing storyteller, puppeteer, author, and the New York Public Library's first Latina librarian, worked tirelessly and creatively to ensure that the shelves and programming of Harlem's public library branches celebrated the rich tales and traditions of Black and Brown people. CAMPEONES DE LA LECTURA Y LA REPRESENTACIÓN Total Equity Now dedica cada Marcha de Alfabetización a través de Harlem a la memoria de dos superestrellas de la alfabetización de Harlem, Walter Dean Myers y Pura Belpré. Walter Dean Myers (1937-2014), el legendario autor de libros para niños que creció en Harlem, quería asegurarse de que los jóvenes negros o morenos tuvieran la oportunidad de verse a sí mismos, a sus familias, sus comunidades y sus antecedentes culturales y étnicos reflejados en la literatura. Pura Belpré (1899-1982), autora pionera, narradora incomparable y la primera bibliotecaria latina de la Biblioteca Pública de Nueva York, trabajó incansable y creativamente para asegurarse de que los estantes y la programación de las sucursales de la biblioteca de Harlem incluyan y celebren los ricos cuentos y tradiciones de personas negras o morenas.
