Remember
Toni Morrison
- Reading
- Read together at a comfortable pace, pausing at photographs that prompt questions. You could distinguish what an image shows from what the imagined dialogue adds.
- Themes
- School desegregation and children’s experiences: Archival photographs provide the inspiration for a fictional account of children living during school desegregation. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The subject includes racial discrimination in education and school desegregation. These themes may merit conversation; the particular events and emotional intensity shown are not clear.
