An author's note at the end tells of the real Henry Brown and his Freedom Box on which this story was based. the reason that i picked this is because it also has to do with racial inequality ]]> 2019-03-01 19:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/25stewartc2/o78dr4r93fmf/wish/337003660 25stewartc2 https://padlet.com/25stewartc2/o78dr4r93fmf/wish/337007608 Sweep it all beneath the rug

There's an attempted strangulation, a knife fight, a shooting, and a suicide by jumping from a building. This masterful novel will give you stuff to think about like race, gender, power, and identity. It's a rich but intense book. the reason that i included this is because it brings up the topic of slaves and racial inequality and that is the main focus. it tells about how a long time ago when racial inequality was worse and can show you how it has progressed]]> 2019-03-01 19:50:02 UTC https://padlet.com/25stewartc2/o78dr4r93fmf/wish/337016160
