children's teen Black history nonfiction, written in verse.
a quick read and a story that is very relatable (with parallels to today's problems), plus informative backmatter. If you can get a kid to start reading it, they'll probably make it through to the end, so I would recommend this.

Racial educational equity refers to fairness, inclusion, and equal opportunity in schools. In the United States, many schools were segregated by race until this practice was declared unconstitutional in the 1954. As schools throughout the American South began the process of desegregation, many students found themselves in the middle of local conflicts.

Jo Ann Allen Boyce tell the story of how she was one of the first 12 African American students to attend the all-white school of Clinton High School in Clinton, TN in 1956 through poems. This book makes this period of history and eye opener and informative of how she felt through his process. This story is great for student to learn about this history of integration and how it all started in schools. This also shows students how much schools have evolved since that time.
