Light It Up by Kekla Magoon

4.0

This was a super solid read, told vignette style and eye opening from various points of view. A view from a scared witness, a view from a scared police officer who fired on (and killed) a child, a view from the head of a local gang, a view from a community organizer, a view from political pundits, a view from a white kid whose Black friends are impacted, a view from the best friend of the victim, told in rhyme and heartbreaking.

This will make you think. It will hurt your heart. It will make you rage.
