Seeing Red

(4) YA Twelve-year-old Red Porter is proud of his (white) family's heritage in 1970s small-town Virginia. The novel turns into a treatise on the relevance of history after Red discovers more than he bargained for about his family's past. It's a patchwork of a story with too many pieces, including the death of Emmett Till and the various legacies of slavery.
