Porter. She decolonized the Dewey Decimal System. She helped us belong in libraries, in books. We celebrate and thank you, Dorothy B. Porter 💜📚

- One of my favorite MLK quotes especially when applied to activism. If you can't march, donate. If you can't donate, check on folks. Our actions don't have to be big to be meaningful and have an impact but we must keep at it!
