Description
The Mighty Mite of Miller High School | by J. J. Jonas
At five feet three inches, Inez Perez is mistaken for Miller High School’s mascot before revealing himself as its electrifying quarterback. J. J. Jonas follows the undersized athlete through championships, repeated rejection, and a hard-won opportunity at SMU that proves stature is measured by how fully a person stands.
The Unofficial Results of the 1962 Texas State Track Meet | by J. J. Jonas
A five-year-old traveling with Black sprint champion Roosevelt Porter slowly discovers why restaurants and motels refuse him service. Fifteen years later, J. J. Jonas’s narrator confronts continuing racism inside the Alabama State Capitol with a furious act of protest, insisting that some changes have already taken too long.
