4.0

I mostly read fiction, so I won’t be rating this like I do other books. Stamped From the Beginning should be a required educational reading. It is a lot of information! To help me absorb and process it all better, I read about 20-30 pages a day. Very thankful to have had the opportunity to read and better learn this history. I will definitely plan to reread this again one day.
