The Well by Mildred D. Taylor

4.0

I think this would be a good book for any middle school child to read. It greatly depicts the hatred between white and black, hatred felt on both sides. I've always thought of white folks back then hating blacks, but the idea of blacks hating whites was just as common, just stemmed from a different place. Taylor also greatly paints the infuriatingly unjust world black people were living in post civil-war. One can't help but palpate the hatred felt between these two peoples.
