Elwood is about to enroll in the local black college. But for a black boy in the Jim Crow South in the early 1960s, one innocent mistake is enough to destroy the future. Elwood is sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called The Nickel Academy... [It] is a grotesque chamber of horrors, where the sadistic staff beats and sexually abuses the students, and any boy who resists is likely to disappear "out back." Stunned to find himself in such a vicious environment, Elwood tries to hold on to Dr. King's ringing assertion "Throw us in jail and we will still love you." His friend Turner thinks Elwood is worse than naive, that the world is crooked and the only way to survive is to scheme and avoid trouble. The tension between Elwood's ideals and Turner's skepticism leads to a decision with repercussions that will echo down the decades."--Container. 650 0 $a African American teenagers $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reformatories $z Florida $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Segregation $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Civil rights $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Coming of Age. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American teenagers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799406 650 7 $a African Americans $x Segregation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799695 650 7 $a Reformatories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092581 651 0 $a Florida $v Fiction. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726208 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726640 700 1 $a Jackson, JD, $e narrator. 941 $a 31 945 $a cdab 952 $l FGPD194 $d 20240515011442.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015001.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409033923.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015433.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013759.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020442.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054543.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804023800.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20211014010458.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210910010119.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013747.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204025124.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20201103012607.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20200709010559.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20200303014240.0 952 $l SPPE104 $d 20200211015616.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20200208013908.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204095003.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110081502.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20191214033550.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20191211014948.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191005013059.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20190918024454.0 952 $l SQPC104 $d 20190918023842.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190910011736.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20190831010137.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190827010952.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20190810012206.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190810010649.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190808011213.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190802010553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DE0ECFD6B4EA11E9A95CA01D97128E48 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
