The Gold Cadillac by Mildred D. Taylor
In the 1950s, a young girl recounts how her father’s purchase of a flashy new car strains her parents and leads the family on a road trip from Ohio to Mississippi, where they encounter overt racism and segregation. A frightening run-in with the police and the hostile climate of the Jim Crow South open the children’s eyes to injustice, prompting the family to reconsider what brings pride, safety, and unity, and ultimately redefining their sense of what truly matters.
