The Liberation of Gabriel King
The Liberation of Gabriel King | K. L. Going
3 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
Gabriel King is afraid of everything: spiders, the rope swing over the lake, andmost of all, going to fifth grade. Frita Wilson, his best friend, decides Gabriel needs some liberating from his fears, so they make a list and plan to tackle each one. But one of the reasons Frita is so determined to help Gabe is that she needs his help too. Hollowell, Georgia in 1976 isn't exactly the most integrated place, and Frita's the only black student in school in a town with an active Ku Klux Klan.

This morning I said, "Couldn't we all go to Frita's church just this once?" But Momma said that church was for black people. Why we didn't just do some integrating I do not know, but we never did. ?? #diverseathon

But don't worry, Gabe. I'm going to liberate you from this situation and then we're gonna take care of business. Just you wait. (Frita)
