Overview
"Blackbird Rising captures the experiances of a family through the lens of their youngest member, Alice. As Alice works to navigate the complications that had become her home life since her brother's return from Vietnam, she is also forced to face the reality of the social and political changes happening during the Civil Rights movement. This story has a focus on mental health, greif, and includes some violence. The aim of this thesis is to provide insight on not simply another area of the Civil Rights movement, but to also capture the affects of the Vietnam war on the Black community. This is a first-person narrative written for a middle grade to young adult audience." -- Abstract
