单选题 Marley Dias loves nothing more than getting lost in a book. But the books she was reading at school were starting to get on her nerves . She enjoyed Where the Red Fern Grows and The Shiloh Series , but those classics, found in so many primary school classrooms, were all about white boys or dogs—or white boys and their dogs. Black girls, like Marley, were almost never the main character.
What she was noticing is actually a much bigger issue: fewer than 10 percent of children"s books released in 2015 had a black person as the main character, according to a yearly analysis by the Cooperative Children"s Book Center. In November 2015, Marley set out to gather 1,000 books with black girls as protagonists (主角). Her campaign called "#1000BlackGirlBooks" was a big success. (77) She far exceeded her goal and collected more than 10,000 books! "Through my campaign, I want to give kids a stronger sense of identity." Marley says. (78) "The biggest thing I"ve learned is that kids" voices need to be heard."
In the future, Dias wants to be the editor (编辑) of her own magazine. She is already making the steps toward having a successful and meaningful career. At 11, she"s aware of the racism in the publishing industry.
Like the television and movies, the publishing industry does not represent black girls or other people of color in positive ways. The whitewashing (漂白) in this industry extends beyond not having people of color as characters. In 2012, white men wrote 88% of the book reviews. In 2013, only about 2% of the books were about black characters. Then if there are people of color in the books, the publishers attempt to whitewash people of color on the covers.
However, Dias is making it a little easier for other black girls searching for a character that is just like them. Her project is a positive step toward young black girls seeing and experiencing their lives in books.

参考译文
马利·迪亚斯不爱其他，偏爱阅读。但学校中的书本却让她厌烦。她喜欢《红色羊齿草的故乡》和《示罗系列》，但小学教室里的许多经典著作全都是关于白人男孩或狗，或者是白人男孩和他们的狗。像马利这样的黑人女孩几乎从来都不是故事主角。
实际上，她所注意到的一个更大的问题是：根据儿童图书合作中心的年度分析报告，在2015年出版的儿童图书中，只有不到10%的图书以黑人为主角。2015年11月，马利开始着手收集1000本以黑人女孩为主角的书。这个以“一千名黑人女孩之书”为名的活动取得了巨大的成功。她远超原来的目标，收集了一万多本书。马利说：“通过这个活动，我让孩子们有更强的身份意识。我学到的最重要的是要让大家听到孩子们的想法。”
将来，迪亚斯想自己做主编，开办一家杂志社。她已经踏上了走向成功和具有意义的职业生涯的道路。11岁时，她意识到了出版业的种族歧视。
与电视和电影业一样，出版业并不以积极的方式对待黑人女孩或其他有色人种。出版业的特征是不录用有色人种。2012年，白人写了88%的书评。在2013年，只有大约2%的书是关于黑人的。如果书中有有色人种，那么出版商则会在封面上粉饰这些人。
然而，迪亚斯使其他黑人女孩能够更加容易地找到像她们一样的角色。她的计划对于年轻的黑人女孩在书本中看到并经历其生活具有积极的意义。
