Daddy was upset about something called Jim Crow laws . . .Finally, a friendly attendant at a gas station showed Ruth''s family The Green Book. It listed all of the places that would welcome Black travelers. With this guidebook—and the kindness of strangers—Ruth could finally make a safe journey from Chicago to her grandma''s house in Alabama.Ruth''s story is fiction, but The Green Book and its role in helping a generation of African American travelers avoid some of the indignities of Jim Crow are historical fact.

Carli wears a leg brace and she''s white, and when Taneesha does stand up for Carli in the face of a local bully--a giant of a girl with big fists and army boots--she''s told to expect revenge. Taneesha''s also running a loser''s race for class president, and her love-hate interest Rayshaun has learned that Taneesha is a Buddhist, so now he''s taunting her, saying that she''s going to hell. Her mom may have told her that Taneesha''s got heaven in her heart, but it doesn''t feel that way. And just in case she forgets it, there''s always Evella, Taneesha''s evil imaginary twin, to remind her that she''s a total failure. This beautifully written, fun, and instantly engaging novel presents vivid characters and a timely story about the big issues that every child faces.

In 1936, the New York Yankees wanted to test a hot prospect named Joe DiMaggio to see if he was ready for the big leagues. They knew just the ballplayer to call—Satchel Paige, the best pitcher anywhere, black or white. For the game, Paige joined a group of amateur African American players, and they faced off against a team of white major leaguers plus young DiMaggio. The odds were stacked against the less-experienced black team. But Paige''s skillful batting and amazing pitching—with his "trouble ball" and "bat dodger"— kept the game close. Would the rookie DiMaggio prove himself as major league player? Or would Paige once again prove his greatness—and the injustice of segregated baseball?

Told for the first time in picture book form is the true story of James Lafayette—an enslaved person who spied for George Washington''s army during the American Revolution. After his resounding defeat at the battle of Yorktown, British general Charles Cornwallis made a point of touring the American camp, looking for the reason behind his loss. What he didn’t expect to see was James, an escaped enslaved person who had served as a guide to the British army. Or at least that’s what Cornwallis was led to believe. In fact, James wasn’t actually a runaway—he was a spy for the American army.But while America celebrated its newfound freedom, James returned to slavery in Virginia. His service as a spy hadn''t qualified him for the release he''d been hoping for. For James the fight wasn''t over; his next adversary was the Virginia General Assembly. He''d already helped his country gain its freedom, now it was time to win his own.

"A must-have"—Booklist (starred review)

In the early 1900s, Tulsa, Oklahoma, was home to a thriving African American community. The Greenwood District had its own school system, libraries, churches, restaurants, post office, movie theaters, and more. But all that would change in the course of two terrible, unspeakable days.

On May 31 and June 1, 1921, a mob of armed white Tulsans attacked Greenwood. They looted homes and businesses and burned them to the ground as Black families fled. The police did nothing to protect Greenwood, and as many as three hundred African Americans were killed. More than eight thousand were left homeless.

News of the Tulsa Race Massacre—one of the worst incidents of racial violence in US history—was largely suppressed, and no official investigation occurred for seventy-five years.

Celebrated author Carole Boston Weatherford and acclaimed illustrator Floyd Cooper provide a sensitive and powerful introduction to the Tulsa Race Massacre, helping young readers understand the events of the past so we can move toward a better future for all.
