A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota by Sun Yung Shin

4.0

read on recommendation of my best friend, who teaches taiyon coleman's (amazing) child in school. coleman's essay touches on why I love new orleans- because at least there the problems are obvious. Coleman visits a graduate school in alabama and decides not to attend when she sees confederate flags everywhere. instead she goes to Minnesota, and is ground down by microagressions she didn't see coming, from folks who always have a smile on their faces. she comes to question which is actually worse- the place that displays its troubles openly, or thinks there is no trouble at all.
