Der 17-jährige Justyce stammt aus einem afroamerikanisch geprägten Bezirk nahe Atlanta, besucht jedoch aufgrund eines Stipendiums als einer von wenigen afroamerikanischen Schülern eine teure Privatschule. In tagebuchartigen Briefen wendet er sich an sein Vorbild Martin Luther King Jr. und schildert seine Erfahrungen mit Rassismus und Polizeigewalt, aber auch mit Freundschaft und Liebe. Als Justyce und sein afroamerikanischer Freund Manny einem Polizisten begegnen, der ebenfalls Gewalt erfahren hat, entfesselt dies vielfältige Konflikte ? auf der Straße, in den Medien, zwischen Afroamerikanern und weißen Polizisten und in Justyces Leben. Diese 2017 erschienene coming-of-age novel eignet sich in der Einführungsphase vorrangig für die Themen The Individual and Society , insbesondere Growing up oder Challenges in Teenage Life, sowie The African-American Experience . In der Qualifikationsphase erfolgt eine Vertiefung in Hinblick auf Themen wie Postcolonial/Neo-Colonial Experiences sowie The Media. Das Unterrichtsmodell ist konzipiert für eine Behandlung in der Qualifikationsphase, lässt sich aber problemlos auf das Material der Einführungsphase reduzieren.
