[LM_NET] HS: Looking for memoir featuring injustice

[Amy Ipp <LU83@AOL.COM>]

Dear Colleagues, 
 
I am looking for a recommendation of a memoir for a 9th grade  accelerated  
English class focusing on injustice as a theme. This request  came to me from 
our Language Arts/English supervisor. The students have already  read Night by 
Weisel. Two books immediately came to my mind" First They  Killed My Father 
and Black Like Me. Both of these feature situations that are  unfamiliar to 
students, especially in our community, because most know quite a  bit about the 
Holocaust. 
 
I would appreciate any strong recommendations since I know there are many  
books that could fit this criteria.
