I feel somewhat validated that other users are equally critical of its rambling nature and overuse of quotes, but I wanted to add that these things don't take away too much from the writing itself, which is best seen as a snapshot in time, feelings broadcast to the future from the post-racial America that still seemed possible at the time.

Just wish it was longer. It’s a wonderful read, but I could read 200 more pages of it.

Excellent nonfiction. I'm counting this as a Current Events Nonfiction book, because while it does talk about the history of African American voting rights, it also talks about modern race relations and the systematic oppression African Americans suffer, as well as the efforts of some to suppress voting rights.
