How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America by Clint Smith
4.5
This one was very interesting. I went into it a little hesitant because I was worried it would get into modern politics and I wanted to focus on history. And for the most part, I think it did that. There's always going to be a bias when talking about current events, so I took off a half star for that, but overall I'm really glad I read this and would recommend. There are so many pieces of U.S. history that aren't talked about because of the reluctance to admit that we did something wrong. This book sheds light on a lot of that, and how we can reconcile the truth with what we've been taught.
