All You Have To Do | 
pickAll You Have to Do follows two young Black men living about thirty years apart. We see how each young man grows as he attempts to succeed at his academic institution while navigating systemic white supremacy and discovering connections between class, race and gender. This book is eye opening as it shows us how much has changed, but also how much has stayed the same. Characters are well written and real. The story is powerful and thought provoking.
pickI was very interested to read All You Have to Do. I do enjoy dual timeline books a lot. I enjoyed the author‘s writing. I feel like I learned some things reading this story. It is sad how Kevin was treated differently than the white boys in school. The author showed how Kevin‘s mother tried to protect him by asking him not to “cause” trouble at school by standing up for himself only because she wanted the best for him. I truly enjoyed this book.
