Notes

Description
"They were three Black girls. Dawn, tall and studious; her sister, Kim, younger by three years and headstrong as they come; and Dawn's best friend, Debra, already prom-queen pretty by third grade. These third-generation daughters of the Great Migration come of age in 1970s Chicago, in the warm glow of the recent civil rights movement. Then they arrive at the precipice of adolescence, a fraught rite of passage for all girls, when the dangers of the world suddenly crash into view. There is a small margin of error--especially for brown girls--and the choices Dawn, Debra, and Kim make will have lasting consequences, some of them devastating. Dawn struggles to understand the shocking turns that consume her sister and her best friend, all the while asking herself a simple but profound question: Why? Three girls from Bronzeville is a piercing memoir that chronicles Dawn's attempt to find answers. It's at once a celebration of sisterhood and friendship and a tour de force about the complex interplay of race, class, and opportunity." -- Back cover.
