rorikae's review
4.5
I think one of the most heartbreaking parts about this book is how relevant it still is while also feeling dated because of how much has happened in the last year. I think an updated edition would definitely talk about George Floyd and Breonna Taylor's murders and I wonder if we will see a second edition that includes even more pieces. I highly recommend this collection, particularly the audiobook as the narrators help bring these pieces to life. I think this is essential reading.
