Any suggestions on a seminal piece of literature by an African-American author
that would be accessible to 8th graders of varying ability levels and also
somehow be considered a classic? I have the entire Mildred Taylor oeuvre under
consideration, but hope to have as many options as possible. This would
potentially replace To Kill a Mockingbird in our curriculum. Thank you for
your help.
