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

adventurous challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

I've expressed before that great poets seem to make the best writers of, well, everything! This book was no exception. Clint Smith did not waste one word in this text.  The descriptions of the physical locations visited, his emotions while visiting, and the conversations that took place on (or near) these properties were both lyrical and incredibly informative. I'm thankful that he included discussions with his grandparents to add the personal component. Excellently crafted - I could have highlighted the whole book!
