3.5 A lot of the information about issues that she raises wasn't new to me because I've read a lot about racial injustice. But mostly it's a memoir and the stories she told, especially about her brother who kept getting sent to prison instead of being treated for his mental illness, were heartbreaking.

This book is difficult to read for exactly the same reasons it is so important.

This book is amazing. 10/10 no notes. The perfect blend of using personal experience to discuss systemic issues. Will leave you angry seething with range and in awe ofnp the work organizers do. A favorite quote: “It was easy to understand that when race was a blatant factor, a friend says to me in a political discussion one afternoon. Jim Crow left no questions or confusion. But now that race isn’t written into the law, she says, look for the codes. Look for the codes language everywhere, she says. They rewrote the laws, but they didn’t rewrite white supremacy.” pg. 98-99
