| Summary |
Intertwining the stories of two Black students decades apart, this compelling and honest novel follows Kevin and Gibran as they navigate similar forms of insidious racism while discovering who they want to be instead of what society tells them they are. |
|
520 In April 1968, in the wake of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, Kevin joins a protest that shuts down his Ivy League campus. In September 1995, amidst controversy over the Million Man March, Gibran challenges the "See No Color" hypocrisy of his prestigious New England prep school. Almost thirty years apart-- yet their lives overlap in powerful ways. Each boy risks losing the opportunities their parents worked hard to provide as they move closer to discovering who they want to be instead of accepting as fact who society and family tell them they are. -- adapted from Goodreads info |
