Oh wow this was so good!!

“We believe the one who has the power. He is the one who gets to write the story. So when you study history, you must always ask yourself, Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth? Once you have figured that out, you must find that story too. From there, you begin to get a clearer, yet still imperfect, picture.”

I loved how it was structured and you saw a person of every generation throughout time. It explored such an important piece of history so well.

I’m so glad I finally picked this one off my shelves to read.
