dark emotional informative reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

Definitely a must read to gain a better perspective of the Black Experience in the U.S. A way for me to branch and educate myself of how my black brothers and sisters go through in the world. Even if they reach a goal outside of what’s expected, they still feel the discrimination and racism from people’s unconscious biases.

Powerfully beautiful writing made more emotional as a love letter to the author's son. I feel honored that Ta-Nehisi Coates allowed me as a reader into his life and beliefs so intimately. 100% recommend the audiobook, to hear his writing in his own voice is incredible.

Worth reading, worth listening to, and worth thinking about. Especially if the topic of race and racism makes you uncomfortable.
