I listened to this on audiobook and it was DENSE. At times it was like a history book, which is on par with the title

Read it… take the stories in for what they are - history (provided with some humor and a tad sarcasm)

This book is Black AF and I loved every minute of it. Imagine your really smart uncles and granddad gathering you up to tell you stories of the past and the truth of America and then you got this book. It’s read by the author and the narration was grade A. He’s so funny and personable it felt like I was just kicking it with my cousins while I learned a whole lot of Black history. If you love or even like his tweets you won’t be disappointed. I loved that the book spoke in everyday around the way language and his NYC accent made me miss home
