  abstract: "Clint Smith explores the legacy of slavery in America through visits to monuments and landmarks in this young readers adaptation of his bestselling work of adult nonfiction, How the word is passed: a reckoning with the history of slavery across America"-- Provided by publisher.
  abstract: "Beginning in his own hometown of New Orleans, Clint Smith leads young readers through an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks -- those that are honest about the past and those that are not -- offering an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation's collective history, and ourselves. How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country's most essential stories are hidden in plain view -- whether in places we might drive by on our way to school, holidays such as Juneteenth, or entire neighborhoods (like downtown Manhattan) on which the brutal history of the trade in enslaved people has been deeply imprinted. Informed by scholarship and brought alive by the story of people living today, this adaptation of Clint Smith's #1 bestselling, award-winning work of nonfiction offers kids a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country, and shows how they can reckon with the past and present to become better stewards of their future." --
