#Fiction #2025reads #blackhistorymonth

I like how the story draws a complex picture to attain racial equality, and so many times I felt the pain for the unnamed narrator wanting things to work out for him. When he is unfairly expelled from college, I couldn‘t believe it, this was his dream but it would be nothing to what comes later, then things seem to be looking up when he joins the brotherhood only to realise a very, very harsh truth.

AnishaInkspill ... cont ---> This is not a perfect read, the story seems to meander (quite a bit) but what a read (!!!) this is. 7d

#BlackHistoryMonth This one has been on my radar awhile, fortunately I found a used copy in a store where I had some trade credits (Yay) Antonia Hylton has the right background to write this unique study,a Harvard grad that often writes about race,mass incarceration, and psychiatry.

LoverOfLearning Yes! I was eye balling this book since it was released. I finally got it on a great sale on Kindle. It's worth the read, so important. 📚 ❤️ 3d

Interesting and thoughtful story that addresses many issues still relevant today. #BlackHistoryMonth

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think my hopes were a little too high for this one after reading Don‘t Cry for Me, by the same author, but I enjoyed hearing Isaac‘s point of view.

Overall a good book and not necessary to read the first to follow the story.

I knew I picked the right book for Black History Month when the above quote was in the prologue. I needed this quote as Hope seems to be in short supply currently.

I had an appointment in a different part of town on Friday so I had to stop in at the Half Price Books in the neighborhood. They had a nice Black History Month display at the entrance. (This is the right half of it.)

✔️✔️ I‘ve already read The Color Purple and
The Hate U Give.
