  1. That is curious @Maurice, did you try our search engine? That is the best please to start. Here is a link to our search engine and the results of a Gwendolyn Brook query. The search engine, linked above, is the last item on the menu of every page of the website, except this discussion forum that uses 3rd party software. The search engine on the discussion forum only searches the discussion forum, while the search, linked above, searches the entire site, including the discussion forum. Now I could customize the discussion forum software to search the whole site, but customizations make the discussion forum harder to maintain. Plus the discussion forum's search engine is presumably better at finding things here (blogs, forums, clubs, etc).
  2. Ahhh, that's helpful. Thanks Troy.

  4. @Maurice, the cool thing about @harry brown, which I suspects escapes most people here is that besides being a poet, all of the books he recommends can be found on this website. You can use the AALBC search engine to do a search on, "Malcolm X Diary" or "Malcolm X Talks" to find the books he recommends 🙂
  5. Well, no more 'white'-washing the truth of the United States of America - coming to a bookstore in the UK and US, a book about the wrongfully imprisoned. HarperCollins Children's Books will publish Punching the Air, a YA novel about a black Muslim teen who is wrongfully sentenced to prison. (see link at the bottom) If this scenario seems familiar the book is co-authored by one of Exonerated Five, Dr Yusef Salaam, fomerly the Central Park five. The Young Adult book arrives on the shelves in September 2020 https://www.thebookseller.com/news/harpercollins-childrens-books-publish-ya-book-one-exonerated-five-1203387#
  6. I'm a big fan of beautifully crafted illustrations and a diverse cast of characters. The children dance off the pages, assisted by colorful graphics and an endearing message to get moving!
