      Grades 6-10 The Race and American Law series (6 new titles) explores the inequalities and obstacles faced by people of color in areas of voting, housing, employment, and education, highlighting the history of these discriminations and the important legislation tied to them. Voting details the barriers people of color encounter when exercising their right to vote, and presents the legislation ensuring these rights. Each title's beginning chapter pulls readers in with a factual story, then allows them to travel back in time to explore historical origins and trace important events and legislation up to the present. Quotes, colorful photographs, and data tables help paint a clear picture of each complex topic. Discussion questions will prompt readers to place themselves in scenarios and consider what actions they might take. An extremely relevant, well-researched, and excellently organized series, highly recommended for public and school libraries.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
