My Vanishing Country: A Memoir by Bakari Sellers

4.0

“My sister was right. I was a strange child, a very old soul. My father was intentional with me, and I was receptive. He never stopped showing me the realities of life. Maybe my sense of purpose was developing sooner and faster than in most children. As a result, my early knowledge of the injustices of the civil rights era has left me with a heavy heart, even as a child, with so many tears but also with hope — and a mission. My father’s path and my own are tangled together over the same bloody ground. My goal, like his, is to help heal this nation’s divide.”
