An Amerikan Family: The Shakurs and the Nation They Created by Santi Elijah Holley

5.0

I can't remember the last time I read a nonfiction book this quickly and felt like I actually retained the information by the end. I learned so much! And I think this might be a great place for a lot of people to start. By that I mean, this book touches on so many important pieces of our history -- the Black Panthers, COINTELPRO, organizing work as it's morphed across decades, pop culture as it intertwines with that work, etc. etc. It's great, I loved it.
