This is so detailed that I will definitely be reading it again. For this review, let me share a couple things I learned.
Racism and slavery go all the way back to Aristotle. At the time there was a guy, I don't remember his name, who was writing against Aristotle. Yet we don't remember that guy's name. We chose Roman and Greek thinking as the epitome of society, but we still ignored the anti-slavery guy.
WEB DuBois and Malcolm X learned and grew in anti- racist thinking and advocacy throughout their lives. So don't judge them for one thing they said, but the entirety of their life message.
I will be reading this again because there is no way to learn it all the first time.
