Long Answer
1. It serves as both a reminder of the danger that African Americans were in during the Jim Crow Era and through the Civil Rights movement. It is also a way for Scoob to keep track of the cities that he and G’ma travel through and how times have both changed and stayed the same regarding the treatment of interracial families and African Americans in general. Students may also write about how important it was to G’ma as a reminder of her trip with G’pop and the prejudice they experienced as a couple. (Chapters 3, 6, 23)
2. With Emmett Till, Ruby Bridges, and the four girls, all the examples include young people who experienced racism—some to the point of death—and it echoes James’s fears for Scoob that the consequences of being seen as a threat to white people can be disastrous, even though he might not have done anything wrong.
