For my inquiry project, my topic will be about racial
inequality because I love learning about African American history. It’s a part
of what makes me... ME!! If it wasn’t for those historical events, I wouldn’t
have the opportunities that I have now. Life would still be segregated.
This first book I’m reading right now is Anyone Can Dream: From Mud Hut In Kenya to
Ranch House on San Francisco Bay. I was unsure whether or not this book was
answering my inquiry questions because I didn’t know if it took place during
segregation. Once I started reading it, I realized that it did fit with my
topic. It just took place in a different location. The story starts off in
Kenya but I’m pretty sure that it ends up in the United States.
The book is about a young African boy who is trying to make
his parents proud by reaching his professional goals. The problem is that he
has to face the racism of his home to accomplish them. I am really interested
in this book. Almost every page I read makes me realize how good my life is
right now. It may not be perfect, but it’s definitely better than nothing.
