Black Stats: African Americans by the Numbers in the Twenty-First Century by Monique W. Morris

4.0

It's kind of hard to "read" a book of statistics, although this one was well laid-out, with chapters on different topics. Many of the statistics were really thought-provoking although they didn't really stick in my memory (maybe should have been writing them down while going through it) and a lot of them defied conventional wisdom (aka stereotypes).

I did wonder about the validity of the statistics. They came from a wide range of sources and mostly the numbers were just given as a fact without more complex explanation. I know numbers can mean a lot of different things.
