Welcome to Litsy!

This is a long overdue read. #betweentheworldandme #tanehisicoates #pocauthor #requiredreading #learningandlistening

I stand in full solidarity with protests happening right now in the US #BlackLivesMatter.
As a white women, I see it as my task to educate myself on my white privilege and the racism my country profits from. These three books talk about their experiences as POC living in America, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Before there was #BetweenTheWorldandMe Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote this memoir. Poetic, original. #memorablememoirs #memoirs #fathersandsons #tanehisicoates #readsoullit

"The question is not whether Lincoln truly meant "government of the people" but what our country has throughout its history, taken the political term "people" to actually mean."- Ta-Nehisi Coates

This book is little in stature but delivers a powerful punch! Coates' letter to his 15 year son is poignant, gritty & relevant. His writing is direct and raw as he tries to educate his son on "How to live in this black body in America!" Toni Morrison said it best, "this is required reading" 5?
