The main theme of the story it to engage you into the lives of the Watsons, to the degree that you forget the race they are, the time there in and view them more like a regular family, with the older brother being rebelious, picking on the younger one, Kenny constantly. The youngest of all, their sister is the angel, as she is the least trouble maker in the house, the mother set the rules, the father is the fun parent, etc.
Then, the bombing happens bringing you back to the reality of things that occured in 1963, to the issues of discrimnations of whites against blacks. But Curtis do so in way of not just telling you blacks have been struggling for equality and instead they have these hatful crimes happeing all around them, he shows you the life of an African American family, and how they are just like us, so we can get a better understanding, which was VERY well done!
