If you haven't donated to the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign...

...TODAY IS THE DAY.

From the We Need Diverse Books tumblr:

As has been reported on various websites, host Daniel Handler made a number of racist remarks during that night, including regarding Jacqueline Woodson. Handler has since apologized and said:

My remarks on Wednesday night at #NBAwards were monstrously inappropriate and yes, racist.  It would be heartbreaking for the #NBAwards conversation to focus on my behavior instead of great books. So can we do this? Let’s donate to #WeNeedDiverseBooks to #CelebrateJackie.  I’m in for $10,000, and matching your money for 24 hours up to $100,000. Brown Girl Dreaming is an amazing novel and we need more voices like Jacqueline Woodson.

Many people on Twitter have urged Handler to donate to our fundraiser, and we’re glad to see this has had an effect. For twenty-four hours starting at 8AM EST on Friday, November 21, Handler is doubling donations—up to $100,000—made to the We Need Diverse Books™ campaign. If anyone has been intending to donate, we’d like to suggest they do it within this time frame to let their donation count double.

Also, a $75 donation will snag you an AUTOGRAPHED COPY of Jacqueline Woodson's Brown Girl Dreaming, which, as you know unless you've been under a rock for the last couple of days (which is very possible, it's REALLY COLD out there), she won the National Book Award for on Wednesday.
