3.0

Delphine, Vonetta, and Fern return to Brooklyn after a summer with their mother in Oakland where they have befriended the Black Panthers and learned about oppression. Big Ma, the grandmother with whom they live, is horrified at the "grand Negro spectacle" they make of themselves in the airport. As Delphine navigates the 6th grade, with a new teacher, trash-talking boys, shifting girl friendships, and the Valentine's Day dance, her family manages the introduction of her father's girlfriend=>fiance=>wife and the rocky return of Uncle Darnell from the Vietnam War. Ages 10+
