This is a memoir Of Marilyn Nelson and her growing up in the 1950s and 1960s. I found it a very interesting look at her growing up years as the "first" African Americans to do certain things. We also see historical events through her eyes = the Cold War, integration, Sputnik, and so on.
I really enjoyed this quick read - it would be very good for students studying that era of history.
