Jase Jenkins Companion Book For Yard War By: Taylor Kitchens
Black and White people are treated equal today, but in 1964 they weren't Black and White people did everything separately, all until Trip and Dee played a simple game of football that broke all the rules. In this companion book, you will learn about the relationship Between Dee and Trip and why it’s so complicated. You will also learn about how and why the main characters were treated differently. The last thing you will learn about is a impact of a event in the plot. In all of these chapters you will understand how the Main characters experience racism.
