Conversations in Black: On Power, Politics, and Leadership by Ed Gordon
5.0
I could spend hours telling you all the lessons I learned from this collection of interviews. We could then spend months dissecting the proposed solutions and opinions, the generational gaps, the coloration exchanges, the highs and the lows of Black America. But I won’t. There are some books that need to speak for themselves and some conversations that need to happen organically because of them, and this is one of those books.

“No monolithic thought can be—or should be— reached by all African Americans in any subject. Our beliefs on how best to achieve the goal of equality are shaped by, among other things, our experiences, backgrounds, education, and social status. However, we can and should work toward building consensus.” ~Ed Gordon

If you have read it, let’s chat! If you have not read it and you are genuinely interested in being a solution to racial inequities, then this title should move to the forefront of your TBR.
