This book would be wonderful for a further lesson on African American history and all the effects of segregation and racism. It shows different black Americans and how their lives affected everyone in the United States and indeed the world. A great lesson would be to challenge students to write their story had they been considered an "outcast" like blacks were during the Civil Rights movement. They would write how they had grown up, what they had been expected to accomplish and what they ended up actually accomplishing. It's a great chance to view lives from anothers perspective.
