Description: "The Seniors of Berkeley High are the white, black, Latino, Asian, and multiracial children of judges and carpenters, software consultants and garbage collectors, housewives and housekeepers. Some are Harvard bound; others are illiterate. They are the Class of 2000 at the nation's most diverse high school - and they are the future of our nation." "Looking into the lives of these young people, in this American town, at this time in history, we see more than what's true - and what's possible - for Berkeley High. We see what's true and what's possible for America."--Jacket.
