It was sheer coincidence that I finished a book I had been reading for a few weeks on the morning of Saturday, Nov. 7, 2020. Sharpton’s passionate look at a “country at the crossroads” shares insights on everything from civil rights and immigration to climate change. True, some of Sharpton’s views on battling racism and other major issues have been widely disseminated on television and other media platforms. But his engaging narrative and first-person perspectives involving a number show more of momentous events make this an important book at a critical time in our nation’s history. show less
Didn't think I was gonna like this book when I bought it, but having read it....it's a good political book.
