Black Boy is by Richard Wright. The classic autobiography of racial inequality in both the South and the North. Wright documents, in his own beautiful style, his birth and childhood in the South and his migration North to find a better life, only to discover that race is still a problem even in the North. He documents his involvement with the Communist Party and the circumstances that led to his ouster from it. A class story of racism in America that everyone should read.
Ratings: 11th grade - 8 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
