      Slavery may have officially ended in 1865, but as the authors clearly show in this hi-lo series entry, racism continued to be codified in this country's laws and institutions. After a contemporary example of the criminal justice system's blatantly unfair treatment of Black people, this overview traces the effects of policies and practices in employment, education, and voting laws that negatively affected African Americans -- and that continue to have repercussions today. Plenty of sidebars and captioned photos reinforce concepts in the main text. A glossary and index are appended.

      Gr 3-7-With a strong focus on the issues leading up to the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, these books highlight specific incidents in history and the current progress toward justice. Stories, statistics, dates, and legislation are all featured in order to create a well-rounded and researchable book. Short chapters with subchapters keep the information from becoming too long and cumbersome. Color photos and graphs provide support to the text, and quotes from primary sources ask readers to think deeper. A time line, glossary, questions for deeper thought, further resources, and an index make these books easy for research and fantastic for teachers' lessons. VERDICT A solid purchase about current racism in the United States. The standout title Race and the Media in Modern America is a highly recommended purchase; it presents timeless information that is not as often found in other series about modern race relations in the United States.
