Follow along and SEE the words as I read them from this short chapter book, Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. Bud is a young boy facing the world on his own during the Depression and the Great Migration.

The book gives an inside perspective on issues African-Americans faced in the 1930s, focusing on the laws and racism pervasive in the north in the Jim Crow era.
