Meet the inspirational students: This narrative tells the story of seven women and one man at the heart of a sit-in protesting decreased enrollment and hiring of African Americans at Swarthmore College and demanding a Black Studies curriculum. The book, written by the former students themselves, also includes autobiographical chapters, providing a unique cross-sectional view into the lives of young people during the Civil Rights era.
Correcting media representation: For years the media and some in the school community portrayed the peaceful protest in a negative light--this collective narrative provides a very necessary and overdue retelling of the revolution that took place at Swarthmore College in 1969. The group of eight student protestors have only recently begun to receive credit for the school's greater inclusiveness, as well as the influence their actions had on universities around the country.
Stories that inspire change: This book chronicles the historical eight-day sit-in at Swarthmore College, and the authors also include untold stories about their family backgrounds and their experiences as student activists. They share how friendships, out-of-the-box alliances, and a commitment to moral integrity strengthened them to push through and remain resilient in the face of adversity.
The incredible true story featured in Seven Sisters and a Brother will teach you:
No matter how old or established, institutions can change and will continue to change
How to identify fears and work to overcome them
That truth will prevail when we unite with others and refuse to accept surrender
If you've read titles such as Warriors Don't Cry, Between the World and Me, and Pulse of Perseverance, then you'll love Seven Sisters and a Brother.

Описание: The stories that I am going to share with you, to the best of my knowledge and experiences, are true. Again, I've taught mostly boys-black and white boys. In some years, I've worked in classes that were nearly all white, and the reverse is also true. This book is not a body of research that should be used to influence policy in school districts. I merely want people to look at the lives of these young men and realize that all of us, black or white, are in need of caring individuals in our lives to help us make better choices in life. Hopefully, teachers will read this book and become better practitioners when dealing with students on the fringes. I'd also hope adults-parents, community leaders, religious leaders, and politicians-will look at all children and realize that race, money, and class do not insolate us from the perils of life. Having one parent or two at home cannot determine what course a person will take. Please read this book with an open heart and an open mind. I believe most educators, parents, community leaders, and professionals who work with children want to produce better children. Let the dialogue begin.
