p152-167 San Francisco Treat & Wish We Had a Camera

Well, good plot arc- just as the sisters go off on a grand adventure to San Francisco, they come home to find Cecile getting arrested. Interesting, as they move out of their neighborhood and are exposed with more direct racism I am confronted with my own racist assumptions that some of the characters at the Community Center were White because they weren’t described as Black or had a stringy afro. This chapter does end on a bit of a cliff hanger- I’m much more interested in reading more rather than poking around exploring thoughts about stuff...
