Nikki Haley needs to read this book! Even though Mr.Harriot sometimes uses humor to get his point across, this book is a serious look how the whitewashed history lessons of our youth do us a great disservice on understanding systemic racism, understanding how America was really made on the labor of others, and how laws & lawlessness were aimed at black Americans post slavery. A complicated & important history everyone should read.
US history has always been told through a white lens. Harriot changes that by telling it again, this time through a black lens. It‘s brilliantly done, including weaving humor throughout (as you might guess from the title), and balancing lighter tones with some of the darker bits. Outstanding.
Required reading for all americans. Educational, eye opening, entertaining, and humbling. So glad I read this book. 4.5 🌟
