Rabbit Proof Fence\nIn 1931, three aboriginal girls escape after being plucked from their homes to be trained as domestic staff and set off on a trek across the Outback.\n\nPinky\nPinky, a light skinned black woman, returns to her grandmother's house in the South after graduating from a Northern nursing school.\n\nImitation of Life\nIn 1947 at Coney Island, down-on-her-luck actress Lora Meredith and her young daughter Susie meet coloured Annie Johnson and her daughter Sarah Jane... \n\nBlack like me\nBlack Like Me is the true account of John Griffin's experiences when he passed as a black man. John.\n\nBeloved\nBased on the book by Toni Morrison, in which a slave is visited by a very odd stranger.\n\nThe Tuskegee Airmen (1995)\nThe true story of how a group of African American pilots overcame racist opposition to become one of the finest US fighter groups in World War II\n\n\nThe Birth of a Nation\nTwo brothers, Phil and Ted Stoneman, visit their friends in Piedmont, South Carolina: the family Cameron. This friendship is affected by the Civil War, as the Stonemans and the Camerons must join up opposite armies. The consequences of the War in their lives are shown in connection to major historical events, like the development of the Civil War itself, Lincoln's assassination, and the birth of the Ku Klux Klan.\n\n\nBooks\n\n'Destined to Witness : Growing Up Black in Nazi Germany'...\n\nMassaquoi, the retired managing editor of Ebony, presents an unusual perspective on the Nazi era. The son of an "Aryan" mother and an African diplomat, he grew up in Germany on the wrong side of Nazi racial ideology, confronting not only the bigotry of his countrymen but the danger of Allied bombs on a nearly daily basis.\n\n\n'Germany's Black Holocaust, 1890-1945: The Untold Truth!'\n\nIn the 1890s Blacks were tortured in German concentration camps in Southwest Africa (now called Namibia) when Adolph Hitler was only a child. Colonial German doctors conducted unspeakable medical experiments on these emaciated helpless Africans decades before such atrocities were ever visited upon the Jews.\nThousands of Africans were massacred. Regrettably, historians neglected to properly register the slaughter—that is, to lift it from the footnote in history that it had been relegated to—until now.\nIn an attempt to give the incidents their rightful recognition in the historical context of the Holocaust, Dr. Firpo W. Carr has authored a new book entitled, Germany’s Black Holocaust: 1890–1945. In it, he reveals the startling hidden history of Black victims of the Holocaust. The mayhem and carnage date back to the turn of the 20th century, many years before there were ever any other unfortunate victims—Jew or Gentile—of the Holocaust. \n \n\n'The Other Victims : First-Person Stories of Non-Jews Persecuted by the Nazis'...\nThe author of Escape or Die sought survivors of other groups deemed undesirable by Hitler, including blacks, clergy, Jehovah's Witnesses, Poles, political prisoners, Gypsies (the only other group Hitler wanted to eliminate entirely) and homosexuals (very few survive and none could be found to interview). Suspenseful vignettes are enlivened by historical background, dialogue, and a not-always happy yet satisfying afterword, telling what eventually happened to each individual. Valiant efforts in the face of total degradation are nothing short of inspiring, and many of these stories are not widely known

This might not be your cup of tea, but Jane Yolen also wrote The Devil's Arithmetic which is about the Holocaust. It's very, very good. Go to amazon.com and just type in her name, a whole list will appear.

You may be better off trying a library than online. Look for works by Phyllis Wheatley, Jupiter Hammond and Lucy Terry Prince. However, I think that what you will discover is that the African-Americans whose works were published at this time tended to write about subjects more palatable to a white audience. For example, consider this poem by Whitley, an African who was kidnapped and brought to America to be a servant in a Boston family, where fortunately she was educated.\n\nON BEING BROUGHT FROM AFRICA TO\nAMERICA.\n\n\n                         'T WAS mercy brought me from my pagan land,\n                         Taught my benighted soul to understand\n                         That there's a God--that there's a Saviour too:\n                         Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.\n                         Some view our sable race with scornful eye--\n                         'Their color is a diabolic dye.'\n                         Remember, Christians, Negroes black as Cain\n                         May be refined, and join the angelic train.\n\nIf was up to later writers to express the themes for which you are looking.  Look at the works of Paul Laurence Dunbar, who wrote in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Yes!  I've read and loved both of them.  If Speak is the book I'm thinking of, it was also made into a Lifetime movie (which wasn't too bad) last year, I think.  Another book you may like is "The Only Alien on the Planet", by Kirsten Randle.  Have you read anything else by Francine Rivers?

You could actually apply that quote to almost any book.  For example, what are the hidden agendas or themes in books such as To Kill a Mockingbird, Night, The Diary of Ann Frank, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, etc.  Most authors whisper little messages to us through their writing.  Not all their messages are up front and obvious.

That's a lot of questions.  I recommend The Autobiography of Malcolm X as told to Alec Haley.  It's a good read, and if you have that many questions, it will have a lot of answers for you.

take on personas and interview everyone.  there is a book, "black like me" where a white guy colored himself black, shaved his head, etc. and just walked around as a black guy.  kind of interesting.  or just use every different race friend you can beg borrow or buy, to go around and ask the same questions of the population.

I agree with sfbarbara49. One of the purposes of studying literature is to gain a greater understanding of those that are different from you whether it be race, religion, sexual orientation, age or culture. Ignorance of these subject matters breeds hatred and misunderstanding.\n\nSomeone mentioned teaching his/her children at home about homosexuality. Do you really? If so, how? Should we trust a racist to teach his children about African-Americans and Jews? \n\nThe prevention of academic freedom is a slippery slope that can only lead to further restrictions on civil rights and freedom.

NO.  I don't believe in the banning of any books.  Hitler started with the banning of books.  Next came the banning of ideas.  Finally, came the banning of races.  If you don't like them, then don't read them.

No, racism involves believing that you are superior to another race and also inflicting some form of harm (whether) verbal or physical onto someone else because of their race.\n\nThere are, unfortunately enough of those types around.  You are not racist.

no schools will say they are striving for diversity and that it needed to be read.  If you were allowed to sue over that parents who were racist would be allowed to sue if a book praying blacks in a positive light was read in class.  so it opens up a hole can of worms\nAlso they may of read it because someone in the class has parents like that and they wanted to curb any teasing that may happen
