322.42 Se 15 Seale, Bobby. Seize the Time: The Story of the Black
Panther Party and Huey P. Newton. (L10.9)
This book is a 1960’s protest era classic. The book tells the
story of how the Black Panther Party came into existence and the trials,
setbacks, and hardships it endured. This book is an excellent primary
source for student use, as it provides detailed accounts of the riots,
the party platform, beliefs, conspiracies, and the much more. This book
is great for teachers and students because it is written in language
that they can understand and at the same time intelligently and effectively
communicate the tone and seriousness of the time. I would encourage
students to grab a dictionary if they are going to be reading on an
independent level. Because of the vocabulary, the book gets four stars.
305.896 G199ZG Garvey, Amy Jacques. Garvey & Garveyism. (12.0)
This book tells the story of Marcus Garvey, a black Jamaican Zionist,
who led the first Black Nationalist movement in history. This international
movement was committed to political and social freedom for Black people
across the world. The author, Garvey’s wife provides a detailed
account of the struggles, setbacks, and successes that sparked the emergence
of Black pride and the rise of great Black historical leaders in America
and Africa. This book is a great resource for teachers and can be used
as an instructional level text in a classroom. It provides excellent
detail however, it is suggested that some discretion be used as the
advanced readability level is taken into consideration. This book receives
3.5 stars.
364.1523 T46 Crowe, Chris. Getting away With Murder: the True Story
of the Emmett Till Case. (L10)
This book tells the true story of a fourteen-year-old boy from Chicago
who is kidnapped and murdered in Money, Mississippi in 1955. He made
a comment to a white woman and three days later his body was found badly
beaten beyond recognition in the Tallahatchie River. This book is a
great resource for pictures and newspaper articles for a student research
project. However, the graphic nature of some of the photographs may
be a bit disturbing to some; this book gets 3.5 stars.

(L12.0)
This website is extremely helpful both teachers and students.
Students should pay particularly close attention as it provides many
resources, biographies, and journal articles that would be helpful for
a research project. This website is great because it not only deals
with Black Nationalism in America, but Black Internationalism.Teachers,
this would be of great help to you if you need to do a quick review
of the main ideas, people, and events that come together under the theme
Black Nationalism. Teachers take heed of the readability in directing
frustration level readers to this website. This website gets four stars
for the readability.

(10.7)
This website is extremely helpful for an abridged version of the horrific
truth about Emmett Till. It provides the most significant facts without
going into great detail, great for review and use as a professional
resource. Although the website does a good job of summarizing, one of
the more important criteria for a good website is absent: the author’s
credentials. While I am aware of them because he happens to be the author
of a previous book I have read, the audience is uninformed. This website
gets three stars for the uninformed audience.
