Whose Right Is It? The Fourteenth Amendment was passed to help black people because they should have been equal all along. Since the Fourteenth Amendment was passed, though, it has been used to protect the rights of many other groups of people.
This is such an important, timely topic, but it can be complicated. I loved this book because it made the subject easy to understand. Each new topic was presented in a way that was interesting and compelling. Even though I knew the stories were about real people, the writing was exciting and suspenseful.
It's hard to believe that it's taking this long to get closer to equality, and we get to learn about all the conflicts and reasons this is such a struggle. Of course, this short book breaks the ideas down to make them simple, and this is just an introduction. But I highly recommend this for young readers, starting at around the age of 12, but also for adults who want an easy-to-understand explanation.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this dynamic book.
