The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates

5.0

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective relaxing sad medium-paced

---

A master tail of solidarity between marginalized groups through Palestinians, Coates tells a journalistic story spanning his childhood & how he dove into truth. I would recommend, doubly so if you're a journalist.
