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" --
