A unique graphic history of one of the most controversial legal decisions of all time—with 118 powerful linoleum printsIn 1931, nine black youths were falsely accused of raping two white women on a freight train traveling through northern Alabama. They were arrested and tried in four days, convicted of rape, and eight of them were sentenced to death. The ensuing legal battle spanned six years and involved two landmark decisions by the Supreme Court. One of the most well known and controversial legal decisions of our time, the Scottsboro case ignited the collective emotions of the country, which was still struggling to come to terms with fundamental issues of racial equality.Scottsboro, Alabama, which consists of 118 exceptionally powerful linoleum prints, provides a unique graphic history of one of the most infamous, racially-charged episodes in the annals of the American judicial system, and of the racial and class struggle of the time. Originally printed in Seattle in 1935, this hitherto unknown document, of which no other known copies exist, is presented here for the first time. It includes a foreword by Robin D.G. Kelley and an introduction by Andrew H. Lee. Mr. Lee discovered the book as part of a gift to the Tamiment Library by the family of Joe North, an important figure in the Communist Party-USA, and an editor at the seminal left-wing journal, the New Masses.A true historical find and an excellent tool for teaching the case itself and the period which it so indelibly marked, this book allows us to see the Scottsboro case through a unique and highly provocative lens.

Every Language Arts teacher knows the struggle: How do we make classics like Animal Farm, The Great Gatsby, and To Kill a Mockingbird feel urgent and relevant to students whose worlds of TikTok, influencers, and teenage angst feel so far removed from these celebrated novels? How do we honor literary heritage while honoring and amplifying contemporary student voices?Classic Texts in Contemporary Classrooms introduces the Big Fundamental—a simple but powerful way to help adolescent readers find meaning in classic literature. Instead of asking them to hunt for symbols they don't care about, this approach helps students discover powerful lenses for reading each text, inviting them to explore the classics through ideas that matter to them such as:● Coping with Trauma in The Outsiders ● Influencers in Animal Farm● Careless People in The Great Gatsby● Ghosts in To Kill a Mockingbird● Filtered Reality and Gatekeeping in The Giver● Found Family in Of Mice and MenThis isn't another book telling you why classics matter. It's a practical guide showing you how to make them matter, complete with guided classroom application, discussion protocols, writing opportunities, assessment strategies, and guidance for addressing problematic content.Whether you're teaching whole-class novel studies, facilitating book clubs, teaching an AP Literature course, or supporting independent reading, you'll discover how to establish Big Fundamentals that bridge past and present, connect classics to contemporary crossover texts, build transferable analytical skills students can apply to any book, and move from teacher-led analysis to student independence—all while making space for both canonical texts and student choice.
