Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019 by Ibram X. Kendi

5.0

This should be required reading for every American. This was a difficult read, not only because of the horrors that were shared, but also because of the realization that much of what I've been taught in American history is incomplete if not completely inaccurate.

I strongly recommend the Audible version of this book. Exceptionally read by all of the narrators. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories of individuals who made significant impacts on history--individuals who, in many cases, I hadn't heard of until I read this book. If you are an individual committed to social justice and who cares deeply for the future progress of this nation, you must read this book.
