Brown Girl Dreaming

Jacqueline Woodson
(Teen Nonfiction - 811.54 Woo)

Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement.
