Bessie Stringfield: Tales of the Talented Tenth, No. 2 by Joel Christian Gill

4.0

I wish this book were a little edgier, as the real life Bessie seemed pretty b*d*ss, and also fatter and butcher than drawn here, but still so glad this book exists. I really appreciate the ways Gill portrayed the Jim Crow South, it's people, and its language.
