Angel of Greenwood
by Randi Pink
Angel Hill and Isaiah Wilson live in Greenwood, Black Wall Street, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. One follows Booker T. Washington, and the other follows WEB. Du Bois. However, despite the turmoil in their own lives, they fall for each other. But little do they know that May 31st, 1921, will change their lives, and everyone living in Greenwood forever.
First off, I love that I am seeing more books over the Tulsa Race Massacre! Second, I feel like I misunderstood what this book was about when I picked it up. I mistakenly thought most of the book was going to be over the even itself. Whereas, I got about forty pages to it. Aside from that, I thought this was a solid book to introduce young readers to the Tulsa Race Massacre. Angel and Isaiah were interesting characters to watch interact. Angel was very mature, almost too mature, in my opinion. Isaiah was your typical teenager who is really good at writing poetry and doesn't know how to drop his toxic friend. I loved how they debated WEB. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington; this was one of my favorite parts of the books. However, the rest of the book wasn't what I thought.
