520    Randi Pink's The Angel of Greenwood is a historical YA 
       novel that takes place during the Greenwood Massacre of 
       1921, in an area of Tulsa, OK, known as the "Black Wall 
       Street." 
520    "Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Wilson is, on the surface, a 
       town troublemaker, but is hiding that he is an avid reader
       and secret poet, never leaving home without his journal. A
       passionate follower of W.E.B. Du Bois, he believes that 
       black people should rise up to claim their place as 
       equals.Sixteen-year-old Angel Hill is a loner, mostly 
       disregarded by her peers as a goody-goody. Her father is 
       dying, and her family's financial situation is in turmoil.
       Also, as a loyal follower of Booker T. Washington, she 
       believes, through education and tolerance, that black 
       people should rise slowly and without forced conflict. 
       Though they've attended the same schools, Isaiah never 
       noticed Angel as anything but a dorky, Bible toting church
       girl. Then their English teacher offers them a job on her 
       mobile library, a three-wheel, two-seater bike. Angel 
       can't turn down the money and Isaiah is soon eager to be 
       in such close quarters with Angel every afternoon.But life
       changes on May 31, 1921 when a vicious white mob storms 
       the community of Greenwood, leaving the town destroyed and
       thousands of residents displaced. Only then, Isaiah, Angel,
       and their peers realize who their real enemies are" --
