1968: Racial tensions are escalating in cities across America, including fourteen-year-old Sam's hometown of Chicago. The struggle for racial equality has even divided Sam's own family-his father is a civil rights activist, but Sam's older brother, Stephen, a.k.a. Stick, has joined the Black Panthers. Sam respects his father, but as he sees an increasing number of violent acts perpetrated by whites against blacks, he begins to think that Stick has the right idea. Author's note. Winner of the 2010 Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe New Talent Author Award. A 2010 ALA Notable Children's Book.
