And Still We Rise by Miles Corwin

Seasoned journalist, Miles Corwin spent a year in the classroom with the members of the only gifted magnet program in South-Central Los Angeles. A remarkable group of young scholars, these seniors have managed to excel despite the often volatile environment in which they live.

And Still We Rise is a moving chronicle of their courage, achievements, strength, and resilient spirit-their personal crises, setbacks, catastrophes, and triumphs--over an unforgettable school year. In addition, it is a fascinating depiction of the clash between two teachers: Toni Little, an inspiring but unpredictable white educator with a passion for great literature, and Anita "Mama" Moultrie, an outspoken black teacher whose afrocentric teaching style differs dramatically from Little's traditional approach.But ultimately, it is these exceptional students--a group of talented, lively, and determined young men and women--who will remain with readers long after they finish the book.
