A review by brendatucci
Sex and Racism in America by Calvin C. Hernton
5.0
Brutally honest....
One of the most difficult reads I've ever experienced. However, it was also one of the most important.
As someone who embarked on my own sexual journey from a place of complete and total ignorance, I am grateful to finally be recieving the education that I should have been given decades ago.
We must understand our history in order to fully understand ourselves. This book gave me a very large dose of that history.
As encouraging as it was to see how far we've come, I was also amazed at how much still rings as true in 2019 as it did in 1965.
We won't be able to create lasting change until we first acknowledge the racism that still exists within us.
