adventurous challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This is a book of some of US history’s most salient figures, events, and tipping points of the southern states. It’s the kind of history all US schools should teach but is being banned in too many of the same southern states. You might call it US Black history, but US Black history is US history, just as my US Asian history and the US White history we are often only taught. I’ll be reading this book many times over.
