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

dark emotional informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

Such a good read. I picked this up randomly at the library and from the get go was so drawn in. The writing was so accessible and illustrative, and there was an interesting balance between history and the author’s personal thoughts and experiences. The prison and confederate fanboy stories were particularly interesting/horrifying.
