Answer 1

"In Wonamona by Jerry Spinelli, the white narrator tells about his friendship with Reyburn, an African American boy who moves into a mostly white neighborhood and insists on wearing his hair in an afro and being addressed as Wonamona, which he declares is his African name."

Answer 2

In "Wonamona" by Jerry Spinelli, the white narrator tells about his friendship with Reyburn, an African American boy who moves into a mostly white neighborhood and insists on wearing his hair in an afro and being addressed as Wonamona, which he declares is his African name. "As you can tell, Reyburn Copperwell was ahead of his time," the narrator writes.
Do further research online by doing a search on the title and author. Reread the story with your parents and see what you can come up with together. It's about racism for pity sake. Try to put yourself in the place of the protagonist.
good luck.

Answer 3

Jerry Spinelli wrote it - it is a short story about his thoughts regarding the desegregation of schools (also known as the Brown Act or Brown vs. the Board of Education)

There is a small comment about the short story within a reference to the book called Linda Brown, You Are Not Alone.
"Jerry Spinelli poignantly recounts his friendship with the African-American neighbor he met in the summer of 1954, as they were both about to enter fifth grade"
