Set in Boston, All You Have to Do presents two parallel stories of 16-year-old Black students navigating predominantly white schools. In 1968, in the immediate aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, Kevin joins a student led protest at his university and faces harsh ramifications for his choices. In 1995, Gibran faces similar challenges as he navigates microaggressions and the controversy and consequences of his choice to honor the Million Man March. Both teens must confront the complexities of race, privilege, and belonging as they struggle to find their voices and fight for justice. This powerful, dual-timeline novel explores themes of racial identity, social justice, and the enduring impact of history. It will move readers and resonate deeply with contemporary issues of race and equality.
