The establishment of children’s librarianship was tied not only to the development of reading habits in children, but also to the shaping of their worldviews, their assimilation to White Supremacist “norms,” and their guidance toward “piety, purity, and knowledge” (Garrison 1972– 1973). As a firstgeneration, collegeeducated, Brown Puerto Rican children’s librarian, I’m aligning myself with the critical work done around whiteness, power, and racial identity in children’s librarianship. Through my work, and the work of Indigenous, Black, and People of Color (IBPOC) library workers such as Augusta Braxston Baker, Pura T. Belpré, Charlemae Hill Rollins, Effie Lee Morris, and Lotsee Patterson, we want to recognize and provide a revisionist history to center and affirm the lives and identities of Indigenous children and children of color and Indigenous librarians and librarians of color. Racial equity in library and information science (LIS) is an ongoing process, commitment, and work, and this chapter aims to examine, using a Critical Race Theory (CRT) lens, the history of US children’s librarianship and past and present 7","PeriodicalId":378977,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Justice","volume":"36 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122601572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, professional library literature extends this belief that the very existence of libraries creates democracy, learning, and civilization, and it conflates librarians’ work with the actual buildings themselves (Latimer 2011; Sweeney 2005). This conflation of profession and place creates a narrative that what librarians do must be “good,” because libraries are “good,” and “sacred places.” This narrative results in vocational awe, a phenomenon traced and defined by Ettarh as “the set of ideas, values, and assumptions librarians have about themselves and the profession that result in notions that libraries as institutions are inherently good, sacred notions, and therefore beyond critique” (2018). Both neutrality and vocational awe have been codified as values of librarianship, and rarely have these values been challenged in trade and professional literature, nor their ties to White Supremacy examined. Neutrality, defined as “the state of not supporting or helping either side in a conflict, disagreement, or war,” has long been considered a library value. For the purposes of this chapter, we will focus on what Charles Mills describes as the “present period of de facto White Supremacy, when whites’ dominance is, for the most part, no longer constitutionally and juridically enshrined but 1","PeriodicalId":378977,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Justice","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121313906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On top of its normal levels of structural racism, the US federal government is defunding public services to create prisons for Brown children and families; deporting naturalized citizens to countries where they have never lived or haven’t lived since they were children; outlawing reproductive health care; and raiding people’s homes and jobs in the name of protecting this country. When things like this are happening in the world, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) are still expected to go to work, be “collegial” to their colleagues and cheerful to patrons, and meet regular deadlines. As George Lipsitz puts it, “White vanity is considered more valuable than Black humanity” (2020). We, and especially Black and Indigenous peoples, are asked to be superhuman while our communities are in danger, while white folx go on living their racially supremacist, everyday lives. To that we echo Vincent Harding’s words, “We have no time for charades” (1970, 78). Do not tell us to be patient, calm, or civil.

To address the overwhelming demographic whiteness of the field, the Society of American Archivists (SAA) has established programs like the Harold T. Pinkett Student of Color Award, of which I am a past recipient, to help diversify the profession. While participating in initiatives like the Pinkett have been instrumental in my training, I also credit my professional success to the network of librarians, archivists, and colleagues of color who provide consistent support and encouragement. Relationships formed through scholarship and leadership programs, community work, conferences, campus affiliation, and familial connections are invaluable. This nationwide network is crucial, as I find myself one of fewer than five Black professional staff and the sole Black archivist in an entire library system at one of the largest universities in the country. Added to that, I focus almost exclusively on collections documenting Black people across space and time. Though the lack of professional diversity is disappointing, it is not a deterrent— what I bring to this work, and what brought me to this work, is my identity as a Black woman. Any way you slice it, my work is interesting, challenging, exciting, and highly racialized. As a member of the professional minority, I feel a great deal of responsibility to the people represented in collections, the donors whose collections I steward, and my fellow People of Color (POC) colleagues. I must use every bit of privilege my position affords to support and create space for my fellow POC.

A LatCrit analysis is especially valuable now, in a place and time where students and their families are literally criminalized and targeted for deportation. For ourselves and for our students, the axis of citizenship/legal status intersects with language, class, and phenotype to articulate a specific raced subjectivity that is politically targeted.
