ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Nickel Boys” by Colson Whitehead follows the lives of two Black boys, Elwood Curtis and Turner, who are sent to Nickel Academy, a reform school in the 1960s. Elwood, an idealistic young man inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., strives to maintain his dignity amidst the brutal abuse at the institution. Turner, more pragmatic and cynical, focuses on survival. Together, they navigate a system of violence, corruption, and systemic racism. The novel explores themes of trauma, resilience, and the fight for justice within a deeply unjust society, offering a harrowing look at the impact of racial oppression.
