As Donte fights against the systemic racism surrounding him, fencing opens up a whole new world. This is a compelling story of self-discovery with a brilliant sports-related plotline. But Donte has never been much into sports – and what will people think of a black fencer? Being arrested makes Donte question himself and his integrity, and he's determined to show Alan he has an equal right to be at the school: by taking him on at fencing. But now he's called the police and Donte is being taken away in handcuffs – just for dropping his bag on the floor in frustration.Īs regional champion and captain of the fencing team, Alan is the star of the school. It's bad enough the headmaster doesn't listen and just assumes Donte is guilty (yet again). And thanks to Alan, Donte is in front of the headmaster for something he didn't do (again). Since day one at predominantly white Middlefield Prep, school bully Alan has labelled Donte 'Black Brother'.
