Hi everyone, once again I've come to you for help. Our school is
looking for titles for the 7th and 8th graders that deal with young
people of color (first and foremost, African Americans) who are middle
class and who face middle class issues. There is some concern that much
of the literature about African Americans focuses on characters who are
poor, victims of racism in the ghettos, etc. Do any of you have some
titles that might meet our needs--that do not portray people of color as
lower class, single parent families with drugs always hovering in the
background? Thank you in advance for any help you can give, from Helen
Dittmer, Redwood Day School, Oakland, CA <hdittme@ix.netcom.com>
