HIT: ELEM: 8th grade prejudice books

[Janet Selby <jselby@mail.coin.missouri.edu>]

I received many suggestions for titles in this area.  I do not know how to
do a hit, so will just write author and title.  Thanks to everyone for
your help.

Woilkinson      Ludell
Williams        Crocodile burning
Wolf            Make lemonade
Woodson         From the notebooks of Melanin Sun;  I had'nt meant to tell
                                                        you this

Not having read all of these, I would, of course, urge you to preview
them first for their suitability.  This was particularly recommended for
Crossing Blood and Spite Fences as she felt they were well written, but
powerful stuff.

A couple of web sites were also given.

A video was also recommended.  Through the eyes of Howard Gray.  It was
available a few years ago from:

Glenford, N.Y. 12433
ph 914-657-2681
fx 914-657-2914

This, of course, just scratches the surface.  I do appreciate the effort
so many of you make to help me with this project.

Thanks,

Jan
