The formatting of this works so well as a history of racism in the United States, connecting things that happened in the past to things that are currently happening now. It would work as an excellent book for any high school curriculum, especially in a history or current events class.

I was also introduced to people that I hadn't known before, and I appreciated that Dyson gave light to people that maybe aren't talked about in US history classes. Well written, and I highly recommend it!
