Book Review: How to be an Antiracist
I really liked this book! It is so relevant to what is going on right now.
I am so upset by the events last week with Central Park Karen and the senseless murder of George Floyd that is hard to write about it. I would recommend everyone read Kendi’s book. This guy in the video below pretty much sums up my feelings about the state of the world today.
