Cyberbullying and the Wild Wild Web: What Everyone Needs to Know by J.A. Hitchcock is a small tome with a great deal of very pertinent information. As more and more of our interactions take place via the world wide web, humanity seems to be losing its ability to be civil with one another. There is a great deal of anonymity on the internet and some people think that gives them open license to say and do whatever they want. Some even resort to cyberbullying. This book tells you what cyberbullying is and how you can avoid it and stay safer online. Hitchcock shares stories to help victims and parents to relate to and understand the unfortunate reality of this growing problem.
The Blood of Emmett Till by Timothy B. Tyson tells the story of what actually happened to the fourteen-year-old from Chicago who was murdered in the Mississippi Delta in 1955. Just the mention of this young man's name brings to mind racial injustice and the terrorism that arose in the south after the United States Supreme Court declared school segregation to be unconstitutional in 1954. This book turns what we thought we knew about the case on its head. Part true crime drama and part political history, this book also includes the only interview by Carolyn Bryant, the white woman in whose name Till was killed.
