Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed

This nonfiction account examines what happened after a private Instagram account posted racist memes targeting Black girls in Albany, California. The Korean American boy who created the account considered the girls his friends; other students learned of it, and its discovery affected the targets, the creator, followers, educators, parents, school, and wider community. The book traces how efforts by adults to repair the damage could make matters worse, amid the consequences of racism and online behavior.
