This book was a JOURNEY. Henry takes us on a trip from when he first gained awareness of White Supremacy and his experience under it - specifically in a white Christian setting as a Black member…. And I was lost for a while there thinking the target demographic of this book were other Black folks recently questioning their ties to evangelicalism or recently left, but thankfully, he pulled us through several years (including the hellish summer of 2020). As someone who leads a Black Advocacy group now and also in the beginning stages of repatriating to Jamaica due to exhaustion under WS in North America, I felt SEEN. Have recommended it to all white “allies” and Black folks doing the work. Ty for this book & happy Black History Month
