InAunt Alice vs. Bob Marley, Kareem Kennedydocuments his quest for an education in the schoolsand streets of New Orleans. With his father gone andhis mother frequently out of the picture, Kareem lookstoward teachers, friends, and extended family for theskills to muster through public schools, HurricaneKatrina, and the "heavy hands and hard shoes" of hislife. Kareem's story serves as a meditation on the NewOrleans public education system as he sheds light onthe best and worst their public schools have to offer.Throughout his time in school, Kareem feels pulledin two very different directions. On the one hand, thereis his Aunt Alice, an advocate for black empowermentwho presses him to discover his creative potential. Onthe other, there is the "Bob Marley" culture of taking iteasy, getting stoned, and not worrying so much aboutthe future.The two years Kareem spends writingAunt Alice vs.Bob Marleyrepresent highs and lows: losing friends,surviving violence, and the beginning of his collegecareer.
