The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates

challenging dark informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

 Ta-Nehisi Coates is just such a beautiful and impactful writer. His prose brings you along through the horrors of the world is a captivating manner, making it all easy to understand and be horrified by. His journey through Senegal, contemplating the Africa that never was and never will be is haunting and heart-breaking. His trip into Trump-Country where school boards are trying to erase history, and any examination of race in America is infuriating. And his journey into the Holy Land and the innumerable horrors that Israel has inflicted upon the Palestinians is informative and fills you with a righteous fury. I walked away from this book with new ideas, new facts, and a new passion to spread the truths of the world with prose that can break through people's walls.
