How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America by Clint Smith

challenging emotional informative medium-paced

5.0

Probably my favorite book of the year. You wouldn't think a reflection on how the US understands its own history of slavery would be a total page-turner, but the way the author set it up as a travelogue of historical sites keeps things really descriptive and conversational. And you can tell he's a poet. Really amazingly done.
