My first #history book for May. Happy that one of my libraries has it! Gail Buckley is the daughter of Lena Horne, but that‘s not why I snagged this book - it was because of this review: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/20/books/review/the-black-calhouns-by-gail-lumet... #BlackHistoryYear
pickListened to this one - at 1.5x - and every second of it was a gorgeous gift of a narrator beautifully performing a writer‘s fine words. Important, of course, and formerly somewhat overlooked as a movement of human beings within the country - and also beautiful and alternately depressing, terrifying, redemptive, and fantastic. So good.
My #history2K19 book for February. ((Not because it‘s #black history month; I‘m having #blackhistoryyear over here.) National Book Award winner too! 💜💜💜
