ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Nickel Boys" by Colson Whitehead tells the story of Elwood Curtis, a young black boy growing up in Tallahassee in the 1960s, who is sent to Nickel Academy, a reform school. Inspired by .D.R. Martin Luther King Jr., Elwood tries to uphold principles of dignity and justice amidst the school's brutal environment. The narrative explores Elwood's friendships, particularly with Turner, as they navigate Nickel's systemic racism, corruption, and physical and emotional abuse. Elwood's idealism clashes with the harsh realities of the institution as he grapples with questions of morality, survival, and resistance. The book examines the boys' struggle to maintain hope and their search for justice in the face of overwhelming adversity.
