Between the World in Me-Ta’Nehisi Coates
In a series of essays, written as a letter to his son, Coates confronts the notion of race in America and how it has shaped American history, many times at the cost of black bodies and lives. Thoughtfully exploring personal and historical events, from his time at Howard University to the Civil War, the author poignantly asks and attempts to answer difficult questions that plague modern society. In this short memoir, the Atlantic writer explains that the tragic examples of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, and those killed in South Carolina are the results of a systematically constructed and maintained assault to black people—a structure that includes slavery, mass incarceration, and police brutality as part of its foundation. From his passionate and deliberate breakdown of the concept of race itself to the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement, Coates powerfully sums up the terrible history of the subjugation of black people in the United States. A timely work, this title will resonate with all teens—those who have experienced racism as well as those who have followed the recent news coverage on violence against people of color. Pair with Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely’s All American Boys (S. & S., 2015) for a lively discussion on racism in America. VERDICT This stunning, National Book Award-winning memoir should be required reading for high school students and adults alike.—Shelley Diaz, School Library Journal
Quotes:
“But race is the child of racism, not the father. And the process of naming “the people” has never been a matter of genealogy and physiognomy so much as one of hierarchy. Difference in hue and hair is old. But the belief in the preeminence of hue and hair, the notion that these factors can correctly organize a society and that they signify deeper attributes, which are indelible—this is the new idea at the heart of these new people who have been brought up hopelessly, tragically, deceitfully, to believe that they are white.”
“But all our phrasing—race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy—serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.”

News/Celebrity News:
Amber Guyger
A Dallas jury on Wednesday sentenced former police officer Amber Guyger to 10 years in prison for fatally shooting a black neighbor after she mistakenly walked into his apartment and mistook him for an intruder.
The state asked the jury to sentence Guyger, who is white, to a minimum of 28 years for the killing. Judge Tammy Kemp ruled the jury could consider a “sudden passion” defense that could reduce the sentence to two years, but in the end, jurors opted for a higher sentence.
Guyger, who was in uniform when she fatally shot Botham Jean a year ago as he ate a bowl of ice cream, normally would have faced a sentence as high as 99 years. She didn’t appear to show much reaction, at least from the angle of a live camera stream, as the judge read the jury’s sentence.
The sentence was met with boos and jeers by a crowd gathered outside the courtroom. “It’s a slap in the face,” one woman said.
As Jean’s family walked out of the courtroom, the group that had been outside began a chant of, “No justice! No peace!” Two young black women hugged each other and cried.
In an emotional moment shortly after the sentencing, the victim’s brother said that he had forgiven Guyger and he hugged her in the courtroom. Brandt Jean said he thinks that his brother would want Guyger to give her life to Christ.
A prosecutor told jurors that when deciding the sentence for the killing in September 2018, they could consider racially insensitive texts Guyger sent to her police partner. She said they shouldn’t sentence Guyger to less than 28 years, which is how old Jean would be.
Jean family lawyer S. Lee Merritt said Tuesday’s guilty verdict should have been expected but convictions of white officers who kill unarmed black men are rare. The community had been “on pins and needles” awaiting the decision, Merritt said.
“It’s a signal that the tide is going to change,” he said of the verdict from the predominantly nonwhite jury. “Police officers are going to be held accountable for their actions.”
