Revelatory read.

Good book but a slow read.

I read sections of this book published in 1969. If only more people had read it then and are reading it now. There seemed to be hope in the 1960's. Just like the 1619 Project, most white Americans, and even black Americans, don't read these books or learn this history.

Although is was written in the 60s and therefore stops there, it is still extremely important to read in order to get a more true sense of how African Americans have been treated in this country and how they always have the courage and will to fight for equality.
