I am beginning to understand the true depth of racism. The book gave me a lot of insight and made me realize how afraid I have been on the topic of racism. Every page gave me knowledge. Read this book!
Update: It has been a couple of months since I read it and I can tell all of you reading this review, hand to the heart, it is constantly in the back of my head. I have started my own journey towards becoming an anti-racist, and this book is one of the many reasons why.
