I really felt this was mostly a 2 Star or less book. The information is delivered poorly, the choices made for the audiobook are bad, the prose is certainly going to be a matter of taste (but not mine that's for sure). I feel like some people in the book were remembered in a bit of a romanticized matter.
That being said, I do appreciate the unrestrained calling out of racism, and the systematic institutions that enabled it. I liked that the book also shows that people have always had the choice to be racist and some don't take it. For that alone it's worth the read I guess. I still didn't enjoy it. I feel like I could reliable count on certain YouTubers I watch too deliver this better.
