How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
I am so glad I got to read this book. A mix of non fiction and memoir told by the authors own experience made this book that much more powerful.
Each chapter focused on a type of racism, gender, space, class, to name a few, and dove into history and personal experiences. This book was powerful, insightful, emotional, important, and necessary. This book should be on everyones reading list.
I listened to the audiobook by the author and followed along as he read. I definitely recommend that because hearing him speak his own words made it all the more powerful.
I understand that I will never truly understand. But I can educate, speak out, and show through my actions what I stand for. It is not enough to be not racist. We need to tear down racism and rebuilt with antiracism.
