When an African-American family chooses to integrate an all-white neighborhood, all of their value systems and relationships come under pressure. |
Teaching Ideas: |
This book would be difficult reading for lower level students. But if teachers give guidance in the conventions of reading plays, intermediate and higher level students may enjoy reading this African-American classic and perhaps staging parts in it.
