Commentary
This series of accounts is nonfiction, but the source material could have been cited more clearly. Still, the range of minority populations -- including Quakers in the colonies, Mexicans in Texas, Leo Frank's Atlanta lynching, and more -- is broad enough to make the book useful in a variety of classroom situations. Appropriate for 7th-12th grades as a discussion starter or opening research for a larger report on civil rights, intolerance, or a specific period of American history.
