[Margaret]

I am impressed by how neutral the language in this book is -- factual, with sources, references, and quotes from a variety of sources. Information covers George Floyd's background, historical context, and political controversy.
The layout is very approachable (and appropriate for middle schoolers), with call out sections to give additional context on various topics.
