NPR's Book of the Day - ‘Mid-Air’ is a middle grade book about fitting in, friendship and grief

Middle school can be a rough time no matter what. But for Isaiah, the eighth grader at the heart of Alicia D. Williams' book Mid-Air, there are some added challenges: feeling like his affinity for rock music and nail polish makes him weird, grieving the loss of a close friend, and drifting further and further apart from his other best bud. In today's episode, Williams speaks with NPR's Andrew Limbong about the particular difficulties Black boys face to feel like they belong, and why — in the face of tragedy or discomfort — it can be even harder for them to connect with one another.

Consider This from NPR - How the college protests echo history

Protests against Israel's war in Gaza on college campuses have expanded across the country. They're the biggest student protests, since college students demonstrated against the Vietnam war in the late sixties and early seventies.

What do the campus protests of today have in common with those of the sixties? How might they affect the policies of their universities and the US government?

Thirty years ago, South Africa became an emblem of a multiracial democracy. Decades on, how is that legacy holding up?
