This project will be a close reading of a non-fictional text with the goals of strengthening analytical skills, speaking, listening, and writing skills, and increasing awareness of the current social justice issues which pervade Alabama Black Belt communities. I chose this book because Stevenson presents a captivating narrative of the social and legal climate for African American citizens living in Alabama as well as across the nation. I feel that reading this book will benefit my students as it will challenge their empathy skills as well as emphasize critical thinking about specific community building strategies. Just Mercy: A True Story of the Fight for Justice guides students on a path of understanding the realities that lie before them while simultaneously motivating them to alter those realities to be more equitable for every person regardless of background, skin color, or education.
