As a European I found this a very informative read regarding an important movement and period in American history. It also helps to explain much of the current problems and attitudes in American society. I was greatly inspired and moved by the characters and their difficult journeys, even though some parts were (very) hard to read. Would wholeheartedly recommend.paperandkindness's review

📚 It's such an incredible account of ordinary people doing something extraordinary. So much of the history we learn is about the exceptional people, and Wilkerson reminds us that history is also written by everyday people.
📚 I never learned about this period of history in school - we never made it much beyond the turn of the century in my classes. We often think of historical events as discrete periods of time, but THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS deftly shows how interconnected everything is.
