It is an informative and enlightening book. In my opinion the writing can be a little repetitive to the point I feel like I'm reading previous chapters. I would have preferred a chronological dive into events and how they shaped history over bouncing from topic to topic. Otherwise, I'm excited to use this in my classroom in order to better help students understand the black experience.
