I read A Brownstone in Brooklyn because I have a deep interest in the Civil Rights Movement. I have read a good deal of nonfiction on the experiences of young people who participated, but I learned more from this fictional account than I have from the historical texts. Getting to be inside of college senior Andy Pilgrim's mind - and the minds and hearts of those dear to him - allowed me to understand through a story pulled from the mind of a creative author who lived in Bed Stuy at the time. It is an exciting account with plot twists and turns, and a cast of characters that make me so grateful for all of our parents and grandparents who have fought for us. Much like the period in the book, we are at a time ripe with opportunity to advance a more just society. And so many of the issues that Andy faced as a young man are still present for young people today. I can't wait to read the next two in the trilogy!
