HUE-MAN KIND A BOOK TO END RACISM

Students, aged 9 to 17, share their art, insights and arguments for ending racism in this book created from Hey U.G.L.Y.’s* Hue-Man Being Project®. The project was developed to teach students – and ultimately have them teach adults—the importance of all races living together in harmony. Art experts selected the 50 most representative works that are featured in this book and available to art centers for display and education. 15 year-old Shayna Shelton drew the picture on the left and wrote: “Why is race the first thing we see? It should be how big our heart is and how much we have to contribute.” We hope this book will fill your heart.

$19.95




100% of the profits from the sale of this book, filled with youth art and their wisdom, help us empower the next generation to end racism in themselves, their classrooms and the world.

Rena Reese of WRWK believes the Hue-Man Being Project is:  “… a terrifically beautiful example as to how engaging kids’ talents, while teaching an important message, does more to etch an idea on their heart than any lecture ever could.”
