With the Might of Angels
With the Might of Angels | Andrea Davis Pinkney
5 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Bestselling author and Coretta Scott King Award winner Andrea Davis Pinkney presents a moving fictional account of school desegregation in the Civil Rights Era.Twelve-year-old Dawnie Rae Johnson's life turns upside down after the Supreme Court rules in favor of desegregation in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education. Her parents decide that Dawnie will attend Prettyman Coburn, a previously all-white school -- but she'll be the only one of her friends to enroll in this new school. Not everyone in Dawnie's town of Hadley, Virginia, supports integration, though, and much of the community is outraged by the decision. As she starts school, Dawnie encounters the harsh realities of racism. But the backlash against her arrival at Prettyman Coburn is more than she's prepared for, and she begins to wonder if the hardship is worth it. Will Dawnie be able to hold on to the true meaning of justice and remain faithful to her own sense of integrity?

"We as a people will get through the Promised Land" Martin Luther King, Jr.

This book was amazing, heartbreaking, and uplifting at the same time. A young girl and her family get flack from her community and the white community just for trying to go to the school that will give her the opportunity to become a doctor. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

The school is having a book fair and my good friend knows I have no shame when it comes to books.
H - "Come on Tammy. I'll get you a book."
T - "No thank. How much?"
H- "I enjoy doing this for you."

I normally say no, but I can't say no when it comes to books. I'm shameless.
