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.

I did find parts of this book dragged when I already knew something.  While I enjoyed how the book was laud out, I think I found it jarring on occasion.

“For generations we have believed in this country with faith it did not deserve. Black people have seen the worst in America yet somehow, we still believe in its best.”- The 1619 project
