From the Dexter Manley Library of Things with Little Symbols and Numbers:

The Children by David Halberstam – If you can pull yourself away from the sports section of your local Border’s, check out this title by one of the best American authors of the 20th century. Halberstam, who unfortunately passed away in 2007, chronicles his life as a young reporter working in Nashville during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s and his time spent following a phenomenal group of black college students and their struggle to change a nation and a culture. This is a fantastic read, and you may actually learn something.



Roman, you need to read this book and you need to make your students read it. You will thank me!
