reviewed Brief History of Scranton, Pennsylvania on April 26, 2020 Brief History of Scranton
A Summer of Kings by Han Nolan
Esther Young is looking forward to this vacation since this time she will be FREE of doing no homework or tutors. She will get to do what she wants instead of what her mother thinks she needs. In her family its her brother, Stewart and her sister, Sophia that have the talents. Her parents usually tell her she is not good enough for anything but yet ask her to take on responsibility then when things don't pan out the way they ought to she gets I'm so disappointed in you rant.
The Young's have a house guest this summer, his name is Roy King Johnson a black teenager from the south. He hails from Alabama and became embroiled in a March for Freedom in which the southern people weren't going to take. His mother sent him north to live with them during the summer. Esther learned quite a lot this summer on the treatment of black people. Not only did she learn from Roy but also from reading of the likes of Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr. She dreamed of participating in the March For Freedom and Washington D.C. and thought if people want change to take place then they need to work together to do just that, nonviolently.
