These essays are sometimes poignant and sometimes angry and often a combination of the two. The author often connects his personal experiences to a broader social injustice.
Watkins also believes in transforming young and poor minorities by promoting reading books that are relevant for kids now (Decoded by Jay-Z, The other Wes Moore by Wes Moore). As a reader, I believe he's on to something here.
