by Barbara Diggs Author and Richard Chapman Illustrator

An overview of current race relations, with a focus on Black history and rights. This book dives into the history of slavery, and doesn't shy away from hard-hitting facts about the present day and how Donald Trump continues to benefit from and reinforce systemic racism. 

Aimed at students ages 12-16, this book uses primary sources and introduces a variety of people - some famous, many not - across four centuries to study the fight for social justice. Projects and prompts make this a perfect tool for the classroom. Buy one for your tween or teen, and another for your local school.
