What would our economic status be now without night riders?
Revisado: 10-08-24
A stunning retelling of the Black family's experiences during reconstruction. If property and lives were not stolen in the deep south, the Black experience would be totally different today.

Historia
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his Black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier. The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly?

What would have been if real Black had been able to keep their land in the south?
Revisado: 08-18-24
The American south is and was a terrible place for Black folks. I can only imagine the real stories of stolen land and hangings. One would have to think that there are many more hangings and 100's of thousands of acres stolen. What would Black wealth be like today if...?

Historia
In The MAGA Diaries, she tells not only her story of loving and leaving the conservative movement but the history of the right wing, painting a shocking picture of how they recruit, train, and indoctrinate generations of young people and shape them into the influential leaders and the supporting cast of tomorrow’s Republican party. They are ruthless in building robust networks of power, even if it means demolishing entire civic institutions, from women’s rights to fair elections—and staging a coup when it doesn’t work out.

Author's story is worthwhile, but convoluted. It is still hard for me to understand the Why in this narrative.

Historia
Mercer Mann, a popular writer from Camino Island, is back on the beach, marrying her boyfriend, Thomas, in a seaside ceremony. Bruce Cable, infamous owner of Bay Books, performs the wedding. Afterward, Bruce tells Mercer that he has stumbled upon an incredible story. Mercer desperately needs an idea for her next novel, and Bruce now has one. The true story is about Dark Isle, a sliver of a barrier island not far off the North Florida coast. It was settled by freed slaves three hundred years ago, and their descendants lived there until 1955, when the last one was forced to leave.

Intriguing story
Revisado: 07-13-24
The book narrated by Whoopie is a fascinating story of what on can assumed happened to Africans for to land in America. What I really like is those who landed and escaped to Dark Isle seem to be tue lucky ones. They were poor, uneducated, fearsome. They were also proud. This is a story for many.

Historia
Surrender, white people! After 400 years of white supremacy in America, a reckoning is here. Time to listen up, look history in the face, and surrender unjust privilege. These are the terms of peace - and they are unconditional. Hope you have a sense of humor, because this is going to sting. The legendary activist/comedian and author of the “hilarious yet soul-shaking” (Black Enterprise) best seller How Not to Get Shot returns to address a nation on the edge of civil war.

This is something everyone should read for the facts alone. I love the way the author weaves in actual history and recent events to make his points.

Everything is rigged in our country
Revisado: 06-28-24
After reading this book one truly understands that the rich and powerful never get the true punishment they deserve. The president should be in jail. Paul Manifort should have gotten 30 years for his colliding efforts with the Russions.

What I learned

I learned so much about my own family in listening to this book. As an example during the end of the migration from Kentucky to Michigan, I gained an understanding of why we left when I was 13 years old.

Historia
In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beautifully written, original, and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

A book everyone should read
Revisado: 05-08-24
There are so many things in the book that I and any Black person age have experienced. We may not have not what to call it, but we went through it, and may go through the same again tomorrow. The question I have is, how many White folks will read or listen to the book? I they would take the time to absorb it the world could begin to be a better place.

Historia
On his last combat deployment, Lt. Cmdr. James Reece's entire team was killed in an ambush that also claimed the lives of the aircrew sent in to rescue them. But when those dearest to him are murdered on the day of his homecoming, Reece discovers that this was not an act of war by a foreign enemy but a conspiracy that runs to the highest levels of government. Now, with no family and free from the military's command structure, Reece applies the lessons that he's learned in over a decade of constant warfare toward revenge.
