In the mid-1950s, as Brown v. Board of Education felled the ideology of "separate but equal," the African-American artist Jacob Lawrence saw the need for a version of American history that reckoned with its complexities and contradictions yet was shared by all its citizens. The result was his monumental work Struggle: from the History of the American People. Lawrence developed the series of thirty panels, each measuring 12 x 16 inches, over the course of two years. Lawrence created the panels as history you could hold in your hands and intended to reproduce the images in a book that he never realized. The paintings depict moments in the American Revolution and the early decades of the American republic and feature the words and actions of founding fathers, enslaved people, women, and Native Americans. In the spirit of Lawrence's project, this collection includes brief interpretive texts written by teens in response to the Struggle series. This illustrated book features a chorus of thirty young adult voices expressing how Lawrence and his Struggle series speaks to them on a personal, emotional level. The young writers come from a variety of races and ethnicities, nationalities, religions, genders, sexualities, and abilities, and underrepresented voices. As Jacob Lawrence mined American history to reflect upon events he saw happening around him in segregation-era America, these young adults use these panels to comment on their experiences in today's America.Participating teen authors: Sam Ahn, Mya Barnhart, Lynsey Borges, Tyler Burston, Saudia Campbell, Trécii Cheeseboro, Yasmine Chokrane, Amber Crus, Zora Danticat, Kevin Deleon, Emily Desosaran, Aminata Dosso, Jada Epps, Sophie Fishman, Rashad Freeman, Alyse Gaskins, Jennifer Hernandez, Amya Hudson, Ahmed Iginla, Makayla Jordan, Braden Kislin, Zarina Lewin, Jamiah Lewis, Abena Manuh, Makenda Marc, Munaja Mehzabin, Savannah Milton, Sunah Nash, Harry Osei-Bonsu, Jillian Peprah-Frimpong, Lindsey Ruiz, Yoilett Ramos Sanchez, Brianna Santiago, Lucia Santos, Kioni Shropshire-Maina, Lola Simon, Madison Stephenson, Yael Torres, L'hussen De Kolia Touré, Johnná Nicole-Lynn Townes, Kori Valentine, and Kylie Vargas.

Old school : a novel / by Wolff, Tobias,1945-(CARDINAL)517393;
Determined to fit in at his New England prep school, the narrator has learned to mimic the bearing and manners of his adoptive tribe while concealing as much as possible about himself. His final year, however, unravels everything he's achieved, and steers his destiny in directions no one could have predicted. The school's mystique is rooted in Literature, and for many boys this becomes an obsession, editing the review and competing for the attention of visiting writers whose fame helps to perpetuate the tradition. Robert Frost, soon to appear at JFK's inauguration, is far less controversial than the next visitor, Ayn Rand. But the final guest is one whose blessing a young writer would do almost anything to gain.
