When Johnquell, an African American teen, suffers a serious accident in the home of his white neighbor, Mrs. Czernicki, his community must find ways to bridge divisions between black and white, gay and straight, old and young. Set in one of the nation's most highly segregated cities--Milwaukee, Wisconsin--Meet Me Halfway tells stories of connections in a community with a tumultuous and divided past. In nine stories told from diverse perspectives, Jennifer Morales captures a Rust Belt city's struggle to establish a common ground and a collective vision of the future.Morales gives life to multifaceted characters--white schoolteachers and senior citizens, Latino landlords, black and Puerto Rican teens, political activists, and Vietnam vets. As their lives unfold in these stories, we learn about Johnquell's family--his grandparents' involvement in the local Black Panther Party, his sister's on-again, off-again friendship with a white classmate, and his aunt's identity crisis as she finds herself falling in love with a woman. We also meet Johnquell's mother, Gloria, and his school friend Taquan, who is struggling to chart his own future.
As an activist mother in the thick of Milwaukee politics, Morales developed a keen ear and a tender heart for the kids who have inherited the city's troubled racial legacy. With a critical eye on promises unfulfilled, Meet Me Halfway raises questions about the notion of a "postracial" society and, with humor and compassion, lifts up the day-to-day work needed to get there.

Excellent size
Excellent for prescription needle disposal. The containers provided by my pharmacy are too small and don't hold all of my used prescription supplies. Lid closes easily and keeps everyone safe from accidental insulin injections!

XS fit well 5’3” 105lbs.
Size: X-Small, Color: Ceil Blue
Ordered these in XS. I’m 5’3” 105lbs and always buy pants in petite length. I’m around a 26” waist. The drawstring makes the pants easily adjustable and the length is a little long but will be fine with thicker sneakers on. Will be keeping! And I love the neon orange drawstring.

Fit/Feel
Size: X-Small, Color: Navy
I have ordered other medline scrubs from other sellers and these particular pants are by far the best fit and the best feel. The quality of this fabric is not only extremely comfortable, but also makes the pants fall/fit differently around the hips and waistline. By far the best medline scrubs I have ever bought. Now I'm trying to find the exact match for the tops. For others looking to buy medline scrubs: I have a very athletic body type, so hospital grade scrubs fit me best, and that's why I choose medline. Others such as grey's anatomy and the like tend to be too snug around my hips and thighs and look unprofessional. So keep that in mind if you're not the athletic body type or if hospital surgical scrubs don't fit your style

Inaccurate photo of scrub pants
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Scrubs fit fine. However. The string isn’t brown. It is a dark hunter green. So the nice looking contrast with the string that is shown in the pictures isn’t what was delivered. I contacted the manufacturer and they were zero help since I bought off of Amazon
