[aisle] Alternative title

[Holtz, Alan C. (BMS)]

One last word : wisdom from the Harlem Renaissance by Nikki Grimes would give her a nice sampling of materials. The author's notes and the biographies could add some nice insight into the subject.

Enjoy,
Alan Holtz, Librarian serving Brooks Middle School

Hello Hive mind,

I need help finding a replacement title for a student whose Mennonite culture and the next unit of study in her English class is on the Harlem Renaissance.  All of the black authors and titles selected by the teacher have the 'N' word and other assorted swear words.  The class just finished "The Great Gatsby" and they are watching the movie.  The student said it made her feel uncomfortable so she is sitting in the library for the duration of the movie.  The teacher is pretty sure she will not want to read any of the titles she has selected for the Harlem Renaissance unit.  Any ideas?  The titles the teacher has selected are:  Uncle Tom's Children, Native Son, Black Boy, The Ways of White Folks, and Their Eyes were Watching God.  One of the major purposes of the unit is to experience via literature the feelings of the persons of color--so discomfort is part of the project.  I thought perhaps middle school level fiction?

Criteria:  Black author, 1920-30s time frame, addresses racism/inequities in society

Thank you so much!
