Inspired by the Black Lives Matter Movement, the Teen Writers of The Beacon House, a community-based organization in Northeast Washington, D.C. wrote The Day Tajon Got Shot. 

The book tells the story of a teen killed in a police shooting from multiple perspectives, challenging the reader to gain knowledge from the whole picture. The Day Tajon Got Shot was recently reviewed and recommended in the School Library Journal.

Meet the young authors on February 8th at Mt. Pleasant Library (3160 16th St. NW Washington,  D.C.  20010) for a panel discussion of their book. This event supports and is a part of the D.C. Area Black Lives Matter Week of Action in Schools.
