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

5.0

This book is beyond eye opening, heartfelt, and so necessary right now when such a loud minority of our great nation is trying to ignore learning from our past, or push completely false narratives (The civil war wasn’t about slavery! Enslaved people were happy!🤥🤬) And it is excellent on audio. I also highly recommend reading My Monticello alongside this book.
