Black Brother, Black Brother by Jewell Parker Rhodes (Farsi)

Description

"Black Brother, Black Brother" follows the experiences of two brothers, Donte and Trey, who attend the same school but face vastly different treatment due to the color of their skin. Donte, the younger brother, is dark-skinned and faces discrimination and prejudice from his classmates and teachers. He is unfairly targeted and labeled as a troublemaker, leading to frequent disciplinary actions and struggles to fit in. Trey, on the other hand, is lighter-skinned and more easily accepted by his peers and teachers. He is a star athlete at the school and enjoys privileges and opportunities that are denied to Donte. As Donte navigates the challenges of racism and colorism at school, he discovers the sport of fencing, where he finds a sense of belonging and purpose. With the help of a supportive coach and teammates, Donte learns to embrace his identity and stand up against injustice.
