Why did my group choose African American Literature

My group has chosen African American Literature because it is something that capture our intrest. The name of are books that we have chosen are: L.Roberts: Contagious by Quentin Carter, B.Posey: Little Scarlet by Walter Mosley, R.Briggs: Street Love by Walter DeAn Myers. We each have chosen a book that we know would be intersting to us, and not something that would bore us with in second. I think people read our genre because it reflects on real life exsperinces. It also show people pain and struggle, and what they go through living in the ghetto.
