Dear Justyce | Nic Stone

Pickpick

While I was still processing Dear Martin, I wanted to listen to this one. The story of Quan, who‘s in juvie for murdering a cop, & his contacts with Justyce. TWs for domestic violence, gangs, gun violence. This book is one I can relate to because I used to work in a school with these types of boys (poor, poc, trauma in fams). I have thought about my 3 Black boys from that school who have died before they were 18 in the last few yrs. The school 👇

Scochrane26 Staff & teachers provided as much support & love as we could, but it wasn‘t enough after elementary school. Two of them had family members who tried to be supportive. When I heard about the most recent one, my 1st thought was that “the police won‘t try too hard to solve his murder”. I still hope that society can find solutions for kids like mine & Quan. #frightclub #hauntedshelf 5d

I love the message of this book and would read it to younger students.

Coates is being interviewed by local author Omar El Akkad who is an amazingly smart and interesting person himself. I am so excited for this, hoping for nothing but to learn.

It's a big one! I am going to see Ta-Nehisi Coats on Tuesday so I want to make a bit of a dent in his book before that talk; I really need to return this library book, lucky it is in verse so I am flying through The Ghosts of Rose Hill; still plugging away at 3 Musketeers! The Little Friend is my #10BeforeTheEnd for the week and if I have time I will read a bit of Nettle and Bone!

Cuilin Oh wow. I‘ve been following his interviews. Amazing 🤩 I need to read his book too. 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures @Cuilin I have been impressed with him since Between the World and Me and it has been a joy to watch him. He is so graceful and powerful in these interviews, I could never be so calm. 2w
kspenmoll Please let us know how everything went. Lucky you! 2w
Hooked_on_books Oh man, that should be an incredible event! I just read the book the other day and it‘s superb. 2w

Coates‘s latest book is a series of essays that form a narrative through-line looking at who gets to be a full person. He impactfully explores the treatment of Palestinians in Israel (he visited before the current war), demonstrating the similarity to Jim Crow. We need provocateurs like Coates to get us talking and thinking. I‘m fully on board with him here.
