Wright’s eloquent autobiography is a book that lends itself to teaching. My students were reluctant at first, but after the fire on the second page, they were hooked and eager to continue.

Black Boy takes place in the era of Jim Crow and, because of its violence and language, is best suited for the upper grades.
