dark emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Loved this read. Similar premise to How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith in the sense of travelling to important places in the history of black people in America, however this book does not limit itself to pre-Civil War history. Truly dives into how the United States was built on slavery and inequality from the very start, and we as a nation keep the old ideas and habits around. I listened to the audiobook, which was read by the author. Highly recommend this one, and it came out this year.
