How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America by Clint Smith

challenging dark informative reflective fast-paced

4.75

a informative book on the origins of chattel slavery to its modern connections of the prison industrial complex and civil rights. Smith breaks down common misconceptions and whitewashed history through each chapter as he visits a different place. my only complaint is that it’s not longer.
