À propos de cet audio

This riveting nonfiction book for teens about race, class, gender, crime, and punishment tells the true story of an agender teen who was set on fire by another teen while riding a bus in Oakland, California.

One teenager in a skirt.

One teenager with a lighter.

One moment that changes both of their lives forever.

If it weren't for the 57 bus, Sasha and Richard never would have met. Both were high school students from Oakland, California, one of the most diverse cities in the country, but they inhabited different worlds. Sasha, a white teen, lived in the middle-class foothills and attended a small private school. Richard, a black teen, lived in the crime-plagued flatlands and attended a large public one. Each day, their paths overlapped for a mere eight minutes. But, one afternoon, on the bus ride home from school, a single reckless act left Sasha severely burned, and Richard charged with two hate crimes and facing life imprisonment. The case garnered international attention, thrusting both teenagers into the spotlight.

Taking part in the journey of this book filled the spaces in my heart. Much learning about the US Criminal Justice System, and 2SLGBTQ+. This is a must read on the journey to Anti-Racism. Niá:wen.

I sympathize with both of the main characters in spite of the political agenda of the book. The story tackled a number of social issues both old and new. I can appreciate the levels of complexity around this story. The trouble I had was the political angle the author used this story to push.The narrator did a great job.

Interesting story but too much propaganda
