Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019 by Ibram X. Kendi, Keisha N. Blain

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

It's a daunting task to take on such a large swath of history, but wow did this nail it. Having so many collaborators of historians, social sciences folks, poets, and storytellers collided into a book I couldn't help but keep reading. (Reading via listening in my case. This audiobook is fully casted and it's a wonder to listen to.) Each little essay and poem was a moment in time that captured so many different people and snippets of life from so many different angles. I absolutely intend to read it again, and I can't recommend it enough.
