Rebel by Beverly Jenkins
3.0

Wow, steamy and I learned a lot! As an American, we are taught next to nothing about… well anything from the Black perspective, so this story set in reconstruction definitely gave a new point of entry. I had never heard of a Freedman school before and hadn’t *really* stopped to think what life post slavery was like with no resources, plans, or, seemingly, interest from the government for integration.

Can Shondaland please do for this series what they’ve done for Bridgerton?? I would LOVE it
