Review of Cross-X: The Amazing True Story of How the Most Unlikely Team from the Most Unlikely of Places Overcame Staggering Obstacles at Home and at School to Challenge ... Community on Race, Power, and Education (Paperback)

I have never before felt compelled to write a book review, but I would love to see this book become more well known and widely read. Most white Americans do not intimately interact with black Americans, and there is a racial and economic divide in this country. This book might be able to provide insight into others lives, and it will bring daily injustices to light. One core American ideal is that of justice, unfortunately as a society I feel we are too apathetic to complicate our already complicated lives by going out of our way to help others. Fortunately as human beings it is difficult for us to ignore injustice when it is out in the open. This book has the ability to change race relations in this country because it shows that the poor black teenagers are actually human beings, they are neither the stereotypical inner city black thugs or genius nerds fighting the man. The characters are real people, and they experience things that people should not experience in a just society. That is why I was compelled to write this review.
