We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy
by Ta-Nehisi Coates
I started this book months back and it takes time to sit with each essay and so I kept having to return it to the library and then the BLM protests happened and reading Coates was in vogue so I only recently got this back from the library to finish.

But I also want to acknowledge how much Coates influenced my belief in reparations and it's always good to read and re-read that essay.
