A collection of short stories that are a mix of fantasy and science fiction, all with a focus on black characters. A few of them fall short, but for the most part they are engaging and thought provoking. A good example and my favorite is Valedictorian, about a young black girl who refuses to underachieve, despite being warned about the dire consequences of her success by her family and society.
