I just finished reading. This is the second book I‘ve read from Mr. Ta-Nehisi Coates. Coates is very unique, and his word choice is intellectual mixed with an artistic hip-hop feel. It‘s the mixture of classic writing and a kid blended with anime and the birth of hip-hop. Give it a try and listen to his opinionated writing.

I finished reading Up from Slavery this morning. Reading from this text gave me a new perspective on Washington‘s life compared to conversations others have spoke about his life. I admire Washington‘s perseverance at that time and his steadfastness to get his goals accomplished.
