[ISLMA-Share] African American characters that are not slaves or fighting for equal rights

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

A fifth grade teacher has asked for titles of books for fifth graders that
have African American characters that are not slaves or fighting for equal
rights.

I suggested *Crossover* and *The Great Greene Heist* by Varian Johnson. Of
course, I'm drawing a blank for any more, and I'm in the middle of my book
fair, so can't get to my shelves to browse.

I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Thank you!
