5.0

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

Must read for all Americans. This is my first Baldwin read and won't be my last. Very beautifully crafted, poignant and powerful. Set your ego at the door and listen to the message, truly let it sink in. While it can be disheartening to hear the stories throughout there is a current of hope and positivity - a possibility of change and beauty for our future, all our futures, if we're willing to take his message and enact real change in our world.
