African American Children Literature
Thought my search for culturally authentic African American Children Literature I have found that realistic African American literature is available but must be actively sought out!
Freedom Summer
Note: John Henry swims better than anyone I know.He crawls like a catfish,blows bubbles like a swamp monster,but he doesn’t swim in the town pool with me.He’s not allowed.This stirring account of the "Freedom Summer" that followed the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 powerfully and poignantly captures two boys' experience with racism and their friendship that defies it. A picture book for all ages.
