The inspirational true story of the first African American to play college basketball in the deeply segregated Southeastern Conference--a powerful moment in Black history.Perry Wallace was born at an historic crossroads in U.S. history. He entered kindergarten the year that the Brown v. Board of Education decision led to integrated schools, allowing blacks and whites to learn side by side. A week after Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, Wallace enrolled in high school and his sensational jumping, dunking, and rebounding abilities quickly earned him the attention of college basketball recruiters from top schools across the nation. In his senior year his Pearl High School basketball team won Tennessee's first racially-integrated state tournament.The world seemed to be opening up at just the right time, and when Vanderbilt University recruited Wallace to play basketball, he courageously accepted the assignment to desegregate the Southeastern Conference. The hateful experiences he would endure on campus and in the hostile gymnasiums of the Deep South turned out to be the stuff of nightmares. Yet Wallace persisted, endured, and met this unthinkable challenge head on. This insightful biography digs deep beneath the surface to reveal a complicated, profound, and inspiring story of an athlete turned civil rights trailblazer.Praise for Strong Inside★ "This moving biography is thought-provoking, riveting and heart-wrenching, though it remains hopeful as it takes readers into the midst of the basketball and civil rights action."-Booklist, STARRED review"This portrait of the fortitude of a young athlete will make a huge impact on teens and is guaranteed to spark serious discussion."-School Library Journal"Even if you're not a history buff, this important story is worth your time."-Sports Illustrated Kids"A fascinating, very personal account of the effect that the civil rights movement had on one individual. . . a must purchase for any middle school or high school library."-Miss Yingling Reads

From three-time Newbery Honoree Christina Soontornvat and award-winning historian Erika Lee comes a middle grade nonfiction that shines a light on the generations of Asian Americans who have transformed the United States and who continue to shape what it means to be American.Asian American history is not made up of one single story. It's many. And it's a story that too often goes untold. It begins centuries before America even exists as a nation. It is connected to the histories of Western conquest and colonialism. It's a story of migration; of people and families crossing the Pacific Ocean in search of escape, opportunity, and new beginnings.It is also the story of race and racism. Of being labeled an immigrant invasion, unfit to become citizens, and being banned, deported, and incarcerated. Of being blamed for bringing diseases into the country.It is also a story of bravery and hope. It is the story of heroes who fought for equality in the courts, on the streets, and in the schools, and who continue to fight in solidarity with others doing the same.This book is a stirring account of the ordinary people and extraordinary acts that made Asian America and the young people who are remaking America today.

Denne historie handler om en heks. En OND heks. Og farlig. Hun ser måske ikke så ond og farlig ud, lige når man ser hende. Men det er hun altså. Så pas bare på. Denne historie handler også om en dreng. En dreng med en rød ballon. Og han er ikke så nem at skræmme.Kan man godt blive venner med en, der er helt anderledes end en selv - og som faktisk ikke umiddelbart virker særlig venlig? Hvis man er en stædig dreng, der elsker balloner, og ikke er bange for særlig meget, så kan man måske.Skøn billedbog om ensomhed, fordomme og venskab.Herlig og humoristisk historie om, hvordan fordomme og antagelser skaber afstand og ensomhed. Hvis man tør tage chancen og se bagom fordommene, kan nye venskaber opstå. Det er et genialt fortælletræk med den alvidende fortæller. Sproget og de helsides illustrationer spiller godt sammen i denne vellykkede historie. Stor anbefaling til bredt indkøb.Lektørudtalelsen
