New Humanities Book: All American Boys

We have recently started a new book: All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. They delve into the deep and serious topics of police brutality and racism. When we started this book, we were first asked to answer the prompt: What comes to mind when you think of an All American Boy? Most people thought of a white male, but as we’ve been learning, people who identify as “American” regardless of their race or ethnicity, are as much American as they are with a white person. This book follows Rashad, a black teenager training in the ROTC, and Quinn, a white boy who defines the stereotype of an All American Boy.
