Yeah my African American lit professor simply never misses.

3rd book this semester for the class and it’s another gut puncher. The aftermath of slavery is something that many people forget was just as much a dark time for black people and while there is much to be dissected from each of these stories I would simply suggest picking it up for yourself.

These are stories of pure and raw existence in the face of the dangers of racism.
