Black men and women are dying now for the same reasons they were in 1921. We have to speak up. Wow. Even though this book is five years old, the potency behind this story and what is going on currently & in Tulsa back in 1921 are extremely important to continue discussing. I am ashamed to admit that this was not an event that heavily focused on in my education growing up. I learned a lot even though this is a work of fiction and the body that we discover with Rowan and Chase is not who I expected. This should be required reading for either middle and or high school students.
