Black History Month
By Mamie

Try Maggie Mitchell Walker, a young Black woman who had to fight not only prejudice for being black but also being a woman. It is a wonderful story. I use it also to teach how to use an outline.

Another person I like to use is Virginia Hamilton. A wonderful writer. The book that I like to use is House of Dies Drear. It is about a Black family who moves south and lives in the Dies Drear house. It contains mystery and history, my students really enjoy this. There is also a movie out, not quite like the book, but will work.
