Breaking Down Walls (Time for Change)

Two best friends with different backgrounds are introduced to the history of segregation in American schools. They are surprised as they learn about the long and bumpy journey toward true integration and equality.

In this book, students in a futuristic classroom learn about topics like interpersonal racism, and how the stories of children like Ruby Bridges affected students of every age and grade level.

Breaking Down Walls is set in the future, during a time of true equality. In this future, a teacher takes his students back in time―to our past and present―to learn about times of prejudice and change.

This graphic novel contains discussion topics, thought-provoking questions, and actions students can take to be allies in the continuing fight for equality.
