But then Jerome takes a hard fall to the head during a basketballgame, and when he wakes up, he and his friend Richard are stunned to findthemselves thrust into the past-back in the time of slavery.Jerome and Richard save a girl named June from being raped by an overseer.It’s far too dangerous to stay on the plantation now, so they decided to takeJune up north where she would be free and out of danger. During the journey,Jerome experiences several situations that help him understand why his BlackHistory teacher, Mrs. Wilkins, wanted him to learn about their past. And June’spassion for wanting to learn makes him realize that education is precious andshould not be taken for granted. When Jerome finally regains consciousness,he realizes that this taste of history has given him a fresh new outlook on life.
