All American Boys by Jason Reynolds
I just wanted him to stop beating me. I just wanted to live. After a violent act that leaves their community and, ultimately, the country divided, Rashad and Quinn - one Black, one White - face the truth that racism and prejudice are all around us. And there's a future at stake, a future where no one will have to deal with police brutality. They just have to risk everything they've ever known to speak out.
