“AMERICAN HISTORY”
by Judith Ortiz Cofer
"In this short story, set against the backdrop of President Kennedy’s assassination, Elena’s innocence allows her to build a friendship with a boy from a different class and background. This innocence is shattered when she is faced with harsh and ugly truths about the world."
