Publisher Description

A young activist opens a window for young readers into his fight for equal education, racial justice, and economic equity.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, to Haitian immigrants, Frantzy Luzincourt has dedicated his life to service and the empowerment of youth voices. When he was fifteen, Frantzy became the founding president of his high school’s Black Student Union, where he advocated for more Black male teachers and for bringing social justice into school curriculum. Frantzy now fights to ensure that all students, no matter their background, have access to equitable schools where young voices are championed. After the murder of George Floyd in 2020, Frantzy and his friends formed the Strategy for Black Lives coalition, which centers youth voices and mobilizes communities to fight against racism, discrimination, and inequity. His passion for education and criminal justice reform are integral to his identity as a young Black man. 

With a voice that is both accessible and engaging, Frantzy brings forward a captivating first-person account of determination, activism, and empowerment in America. The I, Witness series delivers compelling narrative nonfiction by young people, for young people.

“Thank you to Norton Young Readers for providing an ARC of this book. This middle grade non-fiction does a great job of making contemporary issues approachable and telling the story of an admirable and inspiring young man, Franzy Luzincourt. Young readers will appreciate the references to history that are real to them -- COVID 19 and George Floyd. Young readers will understand the value of "good trouble" and may even think about taking a chance to be "comfortable with the uncomfortable."”
