Help me give my students diverse classroom materials such as African-American literature to make real-world connections so they can be successful adults in today's society and the future.

My Students
My students in grade eleven are hard-working, multi-tasking-style learners. They balance academics, athletics, and social commitments with after school and weekend jobs. They range from high to low socioeconomic levels as well as a broad range of learning levels. Their ethnic backgrounds are diverse; foreign exchange students share the halls of our school.
My students are winners in the classroom, standouts on the field and court, and compassionate future leaders of our community.
They work together with faculty members to achieve greatness each and every day.
My Project
My students are going to learn to be life-long readers and learners by reading one novel independently each nine-weeks. I need to be able to loan them books as needed and, therefore, need to grow my classroom library. Additionally, we want to expand our selections of African-American content by African-American authors.
Reading "A Raisin in the Sun" will help my students make powerful connections to the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes thus propelling them toward a better understanding of the concept of white privilege.
The 2020 revitalization of the importance of understanding inequalities in order to eliminate them makes these materials crucial to the classroom.
My remote students will need many teacher-created videos in order to follow along with the class pace, so my in-person students will benefit from the use of earbuds and a comfortably lit classroom setting.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
