“Soul mates,” he said quietly.
“Forever.”

pickThrough interviews with over 1200 people over 15 years, Isabel Wilkerson tells the story of The Great Migration. Focusing on three very different individuals, she shares the different reasons for leaving the Jim Crow South, the struggles of their journeys, and their experiences in their new homes. Interspersed were the events of the Civil Rights movement. Very enlightening and informative. I truly appreciate Wilkerson's style and approach.
pickObviously I‘ll read anything by Jason Reynolds. This is an ode to the “King of Letters” Langston Hughes of Harlem Renaissance fame and it happens at the Schomburg Library (qv The Man Who Built a Library by Carole Boston Weatherford). The guests include Angelou, Baldwin, Butler, Brooks, DuBois, Walker, Morrison and the like. Reynolds‘ 1st picture book.

Really disappointed to not be finishing this book but its epic scope & length is just not something my brain is taking in right now.
I can tell it‘s very well researched & written, and Robin Miles is an excellent narrator, so it‘s not the book, it‘s me.

1. According to Mom, no. But it was a trending girl name in the 1950s. The internet says: As a variation of the French chérie, Sherry means "darling," placing it as the very definition of a most beloved person. I‘m good with that?
2. The tagged author is named Sherri
