How it Went Down is a work of young adult fiction written in 2014 by award-winning author Kekla Magoon. Though a work of fiction, the pressing narrative deals with the “postmortem account of a tragic shooting” (Los Angeles Times), and as such, is a well-needed critique of social reform and racial bias.
HOW IT WENT DOWN is a masterwork by Kekla Magoon. The story is haunting, frustrating, and heartbreaking, just like the real-life stories of Trayvon Martin and other unarmed African American teens and men killed in shootings.
