Black Birds in the Sky
by Brandy Colbert
When BLACK BIRDS IN THE SKY begins, the city of Tulsa is home to a thriving Black community, segregated from White residents but enjoying its own professionals, stores, and even upscale entertainment venues and lodgings. After a young Black man is jailed for an alleged attack on a White woman, White mobs -- including people deputized and armed by police -- destroy the whole section of town, displacing Black residents and even holding some in internment camps for up to several months.
Dear Martin
by Nic Stone
Justyce McAllister attends an exclusive private school with mostly White students. He's on the debate team, has some of the best grades in his class, and is certain he's headed to Yale. Then one night changes his life and puts him on a path that has him questioning why things happen and what he can do to change them. His Dear Martin project, in which he tries to live like Martin Luther King Jr., is put in jeopardy from the moment he's put in handcuffs. Tested by racist classmates, skeptical friends from his former neighborhood, and a rain of bullets, Justyce finds himself a target in the battle over police brutality and race. What would Martin do?
Victory, Stand!
by Tommie Smith
A groundbreaking and timely graphic memoir from one of the most iconic figures in American sports--and a tribute to his fight for civil rights. On October 16, 1968, during the medal ceremony at the Mexico City Olympics, Tommie Smith, the gold medal winner in the 200-meter sprint, and John Carlos, the bronze medal winner, stood on the podium in black socks and raised their black-gloved fists to protest racial injustice inflicted upon African Americans.
