My partner is listening to the audiobook version right now and he has said this is an amazing book. My hold # is 180 on 18 copies so I doubt I'll have it in time to read it with you all, but i'm so happy that you all are going to read this! From what has been shared with me, it holds amazing information!

Just finished The Hate U Give. It feels like the perfect time to start this book.

This is a wonderful book on racism. It covers every historical topic and personally lived angle on racism, in only 300 pages of concise precision, and maintains factual accuracy throughout. I've come across very few books so awesome about racism in my 60+ years of life.
