Thank you to @Scholasticinc for sharing an advance copy of Separate No More: The Long Road to Brown v. Board of Education by Lawrence Goldstone with the #kidlitexchange network. This YA nonfiction book is now available for purchase. All opinions are my own.
Many YA readers have probably heard of Brown v. Board of Education, but I'm sure that Separate No More offers a story that few of them have heard. In this book, Goldstone outlines the long and arduous road that led to that historic Supreme Court case. Goldstone outlines cases that laid ground work for Brown v. Board of Education as well as the stories behind the men and women who fought for equality and the end of segregation.
I found this book to be incredibly interesting. It offered a much deeper insight into a topic that I was only introduced to in school. It is very well researched, but is written in a way that is accessible to a YA audience. Goldstone explains the complexities of the situation and the various court cases and politics related to the topic in terms that any reader will be able to understand. This book allows the author to reflect on the progress made since the landmark case (even if it isn't as much progress as we'd hope to see) and think about how we can be part of a solution. It is bound to spark some great and important conversations.
