{"product_id":"ellington-was-not-a-street-9780689828843","title":"Ellington Was Not a Street","description":"In a reflective tribute to the African-American community of old, noted poet Ntozake Shange recalls her childhood home and the close-knit group of innovators that often gathered there. These men of vision, brought to life in the majestic paintings of artist Kadir Nelson, lived at a time when the color of their skin dictated where they could live, what schools they could attend, and even where they could sit on a bus or in a movie theater. \u003cbr\u003e Yet in the face of this tremendous adversity, these dedicated souls and others like them not only demonstrated the importance of Black culture in America, but also helped issue in a movement that changed the world. Their lives and their works inspire us to this day, and serve as a guide to how we approach the challenges of tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689828843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.22h x 9.30w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Award (Spring) (1998-2007) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Coretta Scott King Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2003 pg. 1364\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/22\/2003 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2004 pg. 1070\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 295\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChristian Home \u0026amp; School\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2004 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 Childrens Sum 04\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2004 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 460 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 91\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 460 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2005 pg. 1020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2005 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2005 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ntozake Shange","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36640034947228,"sku":"9780689828843","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_64bb9dae-0508-4020-a5ef-3b084e70a88e.jpg?v=1603851213","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ellington-was-not-a-street-9780689828843","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
