The Case for Loving: The Fight for Interracial Marriage read 3-21-26


What did you think about the books? I read To Kill a Mockingbird a decade ago and haven't read Go Set a Watchman.

An illustrator you know does the art in books.
For the color part it relates to the term person of color (POC); a person who is not white.
So someone who usually is called blank-american (ex. african-american, latin-american...)
It can be tricky to know who is white or not depending on who you ask. I don't know if I'm explaining this well.
Anyone else want to give it a try?


You can read books in the other topics in this group like Holocaust Books, asian main character books, Latin american main character books

His illustrations helped to capture what Juan does with poetry and what he and the other characters feel, what they are like.
