This is a good intro to Black historical figures for young people。 It’s a little dry but the stories are ranging and touch on many well known and less known people and their significance。 The format lacks imagination and I wonder a bit about audience。

People are rating this book as a 1-star before it's even released， with no review， and not mentioning that they had an ARC or anything？Pretty clear-cut censorship attempt， there; it's going to the top of my read list， because while I won't give a rating without actually reading it like those giving it 1-star， I will fight against censorship every day of my life。 People are rating this book as a 1-star before it's even released， with no review， and not mentioning that they had an ARC or anything？Pretty clear-cut censorship attempt， there; it's going to the top of my read list， because while I won't give a rating without actually reading it like those giving it 1-star， I will fight against censorship every day of my life。 。。。more

#netgalleyarc This was a great and important read。 Black history IS our country’s history and its important to learn all sides of our history。 This reminded me a bit of Stamped but not as overwhelming。 I will definitely be purchasing this for my library。

Written in a way that kids can understand， Unequal breaks down historical and present-day issues in America to teach kids about the inequalities that have persisted for centuries in America。 Even as an adult， I learned more about the Tulsa Massacre in this book than I've read in any other book before。 While this book tackles complex subjects， the authors' writing style simplifies the topics in a way that upper-elementary and middle-grade readers can easily understand。 This powerful book discusse Written in a way that kids can understand， Unequal breaks down historical and present-day issues in America to teach kids about the inequalities that have persisted for centuries in America。 Even as an adult， I learned more about the Tulsa Massacre in this book than I've read in any other book before。 While this book tackles complex subjects， the authors' writing style simplifies the topics in a way that upper-elementary and middle-grade readers can easily understand。 This powerful book discusses racism's implications on college admissions， FHA loan discrimination， integration of schools， voter suppression， environmental racism， and more。 Kids and teens will be able to relate to many of the chapters， such as the chapter about the Central Park Five， because the book often talks about inequality to other kids and teens。 Sadly， ongoing racism means this book won't make it to every school library， but I will definitely buy a copy for my daughter。 Thank you to NetGalley and Little， Brown Books for Young Readers for a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
