#AndWeRise by #EricaMartin
...
An evocative poetry collection retelling the American Civil Rights movement. These poems draw out the emotions of the moment, but also the lengthy perserance of Black Americans during this time. I was most impressed with Martin's ability to show the slow and dedicated march towards progress, with the exhaustion and heartbreak that comes with such consistancy over time. This is a quick read, oerfect for high schoolers embarking on their first real dive into American History.
