Great Read
Published by C.C. , 4 years ago
I first found this book about two years ago (2018) @ Ollie's discount stores. I picked it cause I love to read about civil rights. THIS book, though it talks specifically about the events and tensions leading up to the the Chicago riots, puts A LOT into perspective today. Mind blowing! Buy it! Wish she had more like this. Especially a continuation to this one. Although, all you have to do is look up and see.
