Bakari Sellers' book was published in early 2020 - released in the midst of covid and nationwide BLM focus and anti-racist/police protests. Recommended by friends and on multiple reading lists. It's part memoir, part SC history, part cultural/political analysis and highlighted a lot of SC past that is clearly not taught in public schools. The educational 'corridor of shame' should be shameful for all SC citizens. I finished this book the day the SC guv allocated public school money to private schools. (Not pretending that I understand all the reasons or details, but way to help out rich white people, sir). It's all connected. And I learned more about the Orangeburg Massacre from this book than from our kids textbooks.
