Books on Struggle for Equality
 * 1) __Warriors Don't Cry__ by Melba Pattilo Beals. This book is about the integration of Central High School by the Little Rock Nine. It was written by one of the students that integrated the high school. I recrecommend that my grandchild read this book because it gives a first hand account of an African-Americans student being integrated into a white school. This is important to read because in the future, people may not remember the struggles that African-Americans had to go through in the past to be equal today.
 * 2) __The Boundaries of Her Body__ by Debran Rowland. This book discusses the struggles that women have had to go through in order to have the rights that women have today and in the future. I recommend that my grandchild read this book because in the future, people will probably not be as aware of the struggles that women have gone through in the past, and it is important to know about struggles in the past.
 * 3) __A Spirited Resistance__ by Gregory Evans Dowd. This book talks about the struggle that North American Indians have lived through, and helps people understand the American Indians. This book is important to read because it is important to understand things about the lives of American Indians because they are still a very misunderstood group today.
 * 4) __Night__ by Elie Wiesel. This book is about Elie Wiesel's experiences in concentration camps under the Nazi rule during the Holocaust. I think this book is important to read because the Holocaust was a very important event in history, and we cannot afford to forget about what happened. This book also gives a first person account of experiences in a concentration camp, and it is important to listen to stories of survivors because they will not be around forever.
 * 5) __Just Americans__ by Robert Asahina. This book describes the story of the 442nd Regiment during World War II. The 442nd Regiment was a Japanese-American Regiment that fought in World War II and became the most decorated Battalion in the US Armed Forces. This book should be read because it talks about how Japansese-Americans helped the war effort, and how diverse people helped America win the war.
 * 6) __The Diary of Anne Frank__ by Anne Frank. This book is a story of a girl, Anne Frank, and how she hides from the Nazi's in order to prevent being sent to a concentration camp. The book was put together based on diary entries by Anne Frank's by her father. This book should be read because it shows the horrors that people had to experience just because of their religion, or the way they looked. It is important to not forget the events that people had to go through in the past, so they do not happen in the future.
