This first-hand account of a teenager during the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School will be used in conjunction with To Kill a Mockingbird, a work of historical fiction that is near and dear to my heart. My students love this novel. They laugh with Dill, cry with Jem, grow with Scout, learn from Atticus, and suffer with Tom, an African American who is wrongly accused of rape by a white woman in 1930's Alabama. However, these characters are fictional and as much as my students feel for Tom, many assume that his experience with racism was an isolated case. Although To Kill a Mockingbird is already an effective tool for teaching empathy, supplementing this reading with a nonfictional account of an actual teen-aged girl who experienced racism and oppression first-hand will greatly affect my students and will lead to some amazing discussions and, ultimately, growth. They will realize that real people lived, and still live, through systemic oppression and racism, and hopefully, this will ignite a flame of hope and desire to change our world. The donations to this project will help my students understand systemic oppression and racism so that they can identify and help combat it when they witness it in real life. I truly need your support to make this a reality. Please help me transform my students' perspectives today because they will be our medical professionals and voters of tomorrow.
