Teen activist Marley Dias on her new mission for racial harmony

Marley Dias is an author, public speaker and the youngest member of Forbes' "30 Under 30" this year -- and she's not even in high school yet. At the age of 10, Marley started a campaign called #1000blackgirlbooks because she was frustrated that she hadn't read books in school featuring black main characters. She set out to collect books featuring characters that look like her and received more than 11,000. Now, the 13-year-old has a new book called "Marley Dias Gets it Done and So Can You!" Dias joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss what she hopes to achieve with her book and why she launched a campaign about racial harmony.

Delivered by Norah O’Donnell and Gayle King, "CBS This Morning" offers a thoughtful, substantive and insightful source of news and information to a daily audience of 3 million viewers.

It's Funny how( some) grown men try to put down a little Black smart girl.
They will try their hardest to put you down & stop your flow. Which they saw me smart like that they just caused me to be very very very very very angry and God sees that, and it's good that you have parents that had some money to keep you going but if you don't have any money they will make you very very very angry and you stop believing anything that( they) say.

What a well-spoken young woman my daughter and I'm Mexican she's 6 years old and told me to look this girl up and that I'm just in awe that my daughter will be beautiful I love it also when I was in my young 20s I had a four-year-old and I to realize that there weren't enough books with diversity with young black girls in them and I bought my kids a book I'm a little black girl and her name is summer Jackson and now my kids love that book and I just wanted black people to be unnatural thing in my daughter's lives because you're so much racism out there and even me being Mexican there's a lot of us who believe that we're better than black people and I just really don't like that narrative cuz it's fault will all great and some of us are bad

What a beautiful young woman!
She's only 13!

What were you doing at 13?

[goondocksaints]

She's hooked on the fame, very clear to see. She doesn't want to fix any thing because there is more to gain from the struggle than from a solution.

Jee-zus! How many 13 year olds do you know who are that confident and I gotta say she did lose me when she employed the term 'intersectionality'. Ugh. I hate when people use PC terms. Just talk normal, will ya??!!
