The thirteen-year-old is young, gifted, black, and Catholic-although she's uncertain about the Catholic part after she calls Thomas Jefferson a hypocrite for enslaving people and her nun responds with a racist insult. Their ensuing fight makes Roberta question God and the important adults in her life, all of whom seem to see truth as gray when Roberta believes it's black or white. An upcoming essay contest, writing poetry, and reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X all help Roberta cope with the various difficulties she's experiencing in her life, including her parent's troubled marriage. But when she's told she's ineligible to compete in the school's essay contest, her explosive reaction to the news leads to a confrontation with her mother, who shares some family truths Roberta isn't ready for. Set against the backdrop of Watergate and the post-civil rights movement era, Malcolm and Me is a gritty yet graceful examination of the anguish teens experience when their growing awareness of themselves and the world around them unravels their sense of security-a coming-of-age tale of truth-telling, faith, family, forgiveness, and social activism. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 X, Malcolm,|d1925-1965.|tAutobiography of Malcolm X |xAppreciation|vFiction. 650 0 African American teenagers|vFiction. 650 0 African Americans|xSocial conditions|y20th century |vFiction. 650 0 Civil rights movements|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century|vFiction. 650 0 Women authors|vFiction. 650 0 Electronic books. 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT13623700
