A little girl's belief in Santa is restored in this ode to the
magic of Christmas. This is a holiday gift readers will treasure
for years to come! It's two weeks before Christmas, and Deja is
worried that Santa might not be able to visit her--after all, as a
city kid, she doesn't have a chimney for him to come down and none
of the parking spots on her block could fit a sleigh, let alone
eight reindeer! But with a little help from her family, community,
and Santa himself, Deja discovers that the Christmas spirit is
alive and well in her city. With bold, colorful illustrations that
capture the joy of the holidays, this picture book from
award-winning author Tiffany D. Jackson and illustrator Reggie
Brown is not to be missed.
In this unprecedented narrative, black rights activist Reggie Brown
tells an extraordinary tale of community building and resistance in
southern Illinois. Brown begins with his early experiences in
Harlem, including a near brush with Malcolm X moments before he was
pronounced dead. Brown's story continues with his surprising
decision to leave Harlem to attend college in southern Illinois. As
a student at Southern Illinois University (SIU), the author formed
a team of civil rights activists who built a relationship with
Carbondale's African American community, organizing a free
breakfast program for local children as well as other community
programs. Brown and his team also trained black students and
community members in handling firearms and supported the militant
self-defense measures of the United Front, a black resistance
organization in Cairo, Illinois. Brown joined the Black Panther
Party and met with Fred Hampton, the Illinois chapter's deputy
chairman, engaging the man to speak at SIU just three weeks before
his infamous assassination by Chicago police under orders from the
FBI. Soon after, tensions would escalate into violence closer to
home. Before his work in Carbondale was over, Brown would survive a
terrible betrayal, an explosion that resulted in a month-long coma,
the amputation of a leg, and a poisoning that was attempted as he
lay in his hospital bed. After Brown's injuries forced him to
withdraw from Carbondale, his group would be falsely accused of
shooting a local police officer, and their residence would be
attacked with gunfire and tear gas. The narrative also reveals the
challenges and struggles he faced in dealing with physical
disabilities and the consequences of addiction. A View from the
Inside offers not only a fresh perspective on racial conflicts in
southern Illinois during a pivotal era but also reflections on
black identity, leadership, drug addiction, and more. In original
poetry and rap as well as prose, Brown reveals a fascinating and
significant moment in African American history.
