How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America by Clint Smith

medium-paced

4.5

A really eye-opening and very readable account of how a selection of cities and/or institutions are currently confronting (or not) their ties to slavery.  Smith weaves together both facts and storytelling to make the text accessible and engaging while also very informative.
