Black Cool: One Thousand Streams of Blackness by Rebecca Walker

5.0

To quote the reviewer Zanna, "This book is not about me or for me; it doesn't need me and it doesn't care what I think, and as well as being about terrible things that haven't and cannot happen to me, it's kind of about wonderful things I can't have. This is a humbling thing."

I loved this book. I wish I could tell you my favorite essay or story, but I can't choose. Each one stood out on its own for its own merits and excellence. I wrote down so many quotes from the writers. I looked up so many new (to me) things on google - artists, ideas, times, places. It's a beautiful collection of people and their voices.
