We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy by Ta-Nehisi Coates

5.0

These articles are powerful on their own, but Coates's criticism of his own mindset at the time of writing each of them adds a layer of understanding that we don't normally get from a writer.

I too would gather my words and scream into the roaring waves, because to scream was to defy the story, and that defiance had meaning, no matter that the waves kept coming, would come, maybe, forever.
