Every time I read a historical fiction based on true events from things that happened in the last 50–75 years that I had no idea about, it breaks my heart a little bit more. This is a must read, particularly for white folks who grew up with a sanitized and sterilized version of our recent past. it is our responsibility to seek out these stories and share them so they don’t simply disappear.
