The Deadliest Diseases Then and Now (The Deadliest #1, Scholastic Focus)
by Deborah Hopkinson (Goodreads Author) |

“The events of the Titanic disaster can be seen as a symbol of what happens through overconfidence in technology, complacence, and a mindset of profits over people's safety.”

“And what did Maurice buy when he first got paid? A Russian-English dictionary! Maurice bought a novel and began to try to read it. Each time he saw a word he didn't know, he copied it on a piece of paper. After he finished each page, he looked up the words he didn't know in his new dictionary, then read the page again until he could understand it.
Maurice did this, page by page, until he finished the book. It was slow going, but he didn't give up. 'Every day more of the strange sounds took on meaning as words arranged themselves into sentences.”
― Shutting Out the Sky: Life in the Tenements of New York, 1880-1924

“At Harvard, so the story goes, one of Carter's professors said that Black people had no history.
Carter remembered his father's pride, his mother's courage, and Oliver's determination to learn. He remembered reading the newspaper.
Carter spoke up. "No people lacked a history," he said. The professor challenged Carter to prove him wrong.
For the rest of his life, Carter did just that.”
