Little girl wants to end racism

Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that a nine-year-old girl identified as Emi Kim was on a mission to end racism by placing more diverse books that feature people of colour in libraries.

Emi and her family came up with the book idea and the little girl believes that people will get to understand one another better.
