Summary:  "Twelve-year-old Lamar dreams of becoming a filmmaker, but when his grandfather is killed in a racist act of violence, Lamar becomes determined to honor his legacy by documenting the fight for justice"-- provided by publisher. Lamar can't wait to start his filmmaking career like his idol Spike Lee -- and leave behind his small, still-segregated town of Morton, Louisiana. When Gramps talks about his activism and Black history, Lamar doesn't think much about it. Times have changed! It isn't as bad as it was when Gramps was growing up. Even though his white friend's parents never let him go to Lamar's Black neighborhood, there's been progress in town. Right? Then Gramps is killed in a traffic altercation with a white man claiming self-defense. But the Black community knows better: Gramps is another victim of racial violence. Protestors demand justice, and Lamar is determined to keep Gramps's legacy alive. Will there be a reckoning in Morton? Audience:  Ages 8-12. Crown Books for Young Readers. Grades 4-6.
