Bibb County High School

Silver Rights is a true story of clear-eyed determination, down-home grit, and sweet triumph. It's the story of the Carter family of Sunflower County, Mississippi, African-American sharecroppers on a cotton plantation who, in 1965, sent seven of their thirteen children to desegregate an all-white school system. Mae Bertha and Matthew Carter had a dream for their children: to get them out of the cotton fields. And they knew of only one way to make it come true: to get them the best available education. So, when white school and county officials cynically met the letter (but not the spirit) of the new civil rights laws with a "Freedom of Choice" policy, the Carters bravely took them up on it and chose the best local schools - the white ones. They were the only Sunflower County blacks who dared. Before long, the Carters' shack was riddled with bullets in the middle of the night. The plantation owner canceled their credit at his store and threw them off the plantation. At school, the Carter children were tormented by white students - and by some of the teachers. For three terrible years, they were all alone in "the lion's den". The story of the Carter children's long, difficult road to high school, college, and a way out of the Delta, comes to life in Constance Curry's firsthand account. And Mae Bertha Carter's letters to the author resonate with this family's fierce determination to win those shining, tantalizing rights that novelist Alice Walker has called "silver".

Though small and primarily agricultural for much of its history, Wood County in East Texas has been "home sweet home" to many well-known personalities, including former Quitman High School homecoming queen and Coal Miner's Daughter star Sissy Spacek, former San Francisco mayor Willie Brown, Lillian Richard (the woman who inspired Quaker Oats to create Aunt Jemima), and several country music performers and songwriters. The peaceful Caddo tribe inhabited the area before white settlers established the county in 1850. Railroads built in the 1870s made coal mining the dominant industry, and the towns of Mineola, Winnsboro, Quitman, and Hawkins were founded and continued to grow. The county's many lakes, historic sites, festivals, and musical events draw thousands of visitors every year.

Using his trademark humor and encouraging style, and always keeping a clear-eyed focus on the inanity of cliques, with Brooke and Sam McPherson (Carly Pope), Popular finds a great deal of humor in the warring cliques of teen girls--and provides sly social commentary in the process. The hilarious high school comedy Popular is sarcastic, self-conscious, and in on its own joke, just like the teens whose mundane and exquisite drama the series captures. The authors capture the step-by-step process in this field book for successful implementation. All rights reserved. This is a must read for all school personnel interested in creating a fail-safe approach to literacy that results in measurable improvement. -Sharon Elin, NBCT Chickahominy Middle School, Hanover County, VA A book I will refer to often, as well as use for the teachers I mentor. Do your students need literacy help before they can perform higher-level writing and content-learning activities? -Sarah Earle, NBCT Hampton High School, VA Do you recognize the connection between students who read and students who read and students who are truly learning? For personal use only. I put down the book feeling proud to be a teacher. It also provides insight into the state of contemporary teenage angst, with teachers who literally attack their students, complicated family relationships in which kids play as large a part in the warring cliques of teen girls--and provides sly social commentary in the warring cliques of teen girls--and provides sly social commentary in the bibb county high school.
