Hooded, or Being Black for Dummies

Marquis and Tru are both fourteen-year-old black boys but they exist in two totally different worlds. Marquis is a booksmart prep-schooler living in the affluent suburb of Achievement Heights while Tru is a street-savvy kid from deep within the inner city of Baltimore. Their worlds overlap one day in a holding cell. Tru decides that Marquis has lost his "blackness" and pens a how-to manual entitled "Being Black for Dummies." He assumes the role of professor but Marquis proves to be a reluctant pupil. They butt heads debate wrestle and ultimately prove that Nietzsche and 2pac were basically saying the same thing.
