Books For My African American Literature Class

My students need 42 copies of "Makes Me Wanna Holler: A Young Black Man in America" by Nathan McCall for my African American Literature Class.

My African American Literature students need to read realistic books that are going to prepare them for a tough and hard world. I teach in at a gifted magnet school that is in a struggling school district.

My students don't have an adequate amount of books or resources for class. I usually buy the majority of the books for the class, or I have them go to the library to get the book. However when they do have the books, they really take advantage of the opportunity to learn and get involved in the topic at hand.

I would like to get 42 copies of "Makes Me Wanna Holler: A Young Black Man in America" by Nathan McCall because it is a great book, that a lot of my students will relate to. It will not only be a great read for them, but it will also help them see rough the world truly is.

Your help will ensure that my students will have proper materials for class. Moreover, it will allow them to read something that a lot of them will be able to relate to and learn from.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
