My Vanishing Country: A Memoir by Bakari Sellers

4.0

I enjoyed learning more about Bakari Sellers. This is a smart young man with a good heart. I know he will accomplish a lot in his life. What I did not like was the foul language he used. I don't understand why young people today think it is ok to use ugly language. The English language is so full of excellent words to describe any situation and emotion, I completely understand his frustration with America today regarding racism and cast, but he would make a better role model for young folks if he can relay his feelings and emotions without using foul language. That being said, I do thank you Bakari for your story and for enlightening me on the Orangeburg Massacre. I am ashamed to say that I don't remember ever hearing about it. Shocking.
