SEC: Novel - Black History Month

[Roger Frick <rfrick@OMNIFEST.UWM.EDU>]

I'm looking for a good novel to help us celebrate Black History Month.
Our intergenerational book discussion group has previously enjoyed Toni
Morrison's _Song of Solomon_ and _Beloved_, Gaine's _A Lesson Before
Dying_, Hurston's _Their Eyes Were Watching God_.  We'll read Johnson's
"91 American Book Award Winner _Middle Passage_ if we don't get a
better suggestion (available in paperback, please.)

Any ideas?  Please respond directly.  If there's interest, I'll post
a hit.    TIA!
