panI wanted to like this book more. As a Christian, I appreciate Christian leaders speaking out against racism. For me, this book still made those very subtle Southern excuses and even though many Southern Christians found it offensive, I don‘t think the message is strong enough. Jesus overturned tables and this is more like a pleading “come on guys we shouldn‘t still be doing this.” 👇🏻
pickSimply put: this book is amazing. Bell has touched on a lot of topics that have never sat well with me around racism that I now have some voice to. His parables about racism‘s permanence in America and how issues need to be reconciled not resolved is, for lack of a better term, eye opening.
While his style is pretty corny he is able to state his points with pristine clarity. He wanted EVERYONE to read this not just intellectuals.
pickI really loved this book and the dynamic relationship these two ended up having!
A couple Dollar Tree book finds.
I‘m kind of excited about the tagged book I loved ‘The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek‘
Arlo makes a good background for books lol

so-soThis was a YA book tackling the topic of racism and discrimination at a (fake) Ivy League institution. While I thought the story was good, the writing fell a little flat for me -- I prefer authors like Angie Thomas and Nic Stone. That said, it wasn't bad, just a little disappointing.

pickSecond Nonfiction of the year.
This is an in depth look at the Tulsa massacre it gives the events leading up to and during the event, and then goes on to follow some of the families affected and also the American laws that hindered the rebuilding and affected the integration, mobility and rising up of not only the Black families who were victims of the massacre but also throughout the US.
Very well done, written if a bit long.
