Amazing Grace by Jonathan Kozol.
Devastating. Inspirational. Breathtaking.
If you are going to be an educator this book needs to be read.
Even if you aren't going to be an educator, this book is an eye opener to what needs to be done in this country for the rising generation of minority and impoverished children.
"Nobody's s'posed to live like this in the United States. Did you ever read about this in the books you used in school? I never heard about this in no textbook.")
