The “Ghost Boys” by Jewell Parker Rhodes is an illuminating novel that would help open a dialogue about race/racism in our society. We are at a point in time where difficult conversations surrounding race/racism are paramount in the strive for equality. The goal of this project is to better support and educate the students in front of us. The novel will help create both windows and mirrors for our students in a powerful and meaningful way. Representation in books is essential for children, and it is important to offer literature that tells a story that they recognize, know, and can picture. The story is about a 12-year old black boy who is killed by a white police officer. Then the main character is visited by the ghost of Emmett Till. The novel has a natural place in our curriculum, specifically during our Civil Rights unit, because it draws connections from history and adds commentary on current events. The students would be incredibly grateful for the 50 books that would help them become more engaged and increase academic achievement. Those 50 books would reach and benefit 120 students (shared across 6 ELA classes).
