About The Nickel Boys

Colson Whitehead's The Nickel Boys (2019) follows Elwood Curtis, a young Black man in 1960s Florida whose bright future is derailed by a false arrest and who ends up at the Nickel Academy — a reform school where systematic abuse has been institutionalized. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, it is based on the real history of the Dozier School for Boys in Marianna, Florida.
