the first book we read was Night John. Night John was about a african american guy who was an escape slave, while he was on the run he tried to go back to where he came from and teach other slaves what he had learned when he left. while he was gone he learned how to read and write and thats what he tried to teach the others. while john was trying ro teach them he finally got caught on a farm but he was not killed.
    the other book we read was called Mascot. Mascot was about Malcom x, Malcom went to school with his siblings but he ended up gettin into trouble, then he was set to a different home where he had white parents. while malcom was in his new invironment he tried to fit in with the white kids and he was actually sccessfull in making male friends but he couldnt find female white friends because they didnt wanna talk to him
    last we watched a movie called the great debaters, this movie was about a small school of african americans wh made a debate team, on this debate team they had the first girl to ever make the team. this debate team was special because they ended up beating alot of different collages. when they got really good they got a letter form a white collage and they actually ended up beating that college in a debate during time of segregation and racism
