Conversations in Black: On Power, Politics, and Leadership | Ed Gordon

2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

Hard-hitting, thought-provoking, and inspiring, Conversations in Black offers sage wisdom for navigating race in a radically divisive America, and, with help from his mighty team of black intelligentsia, veteran journalist Ed Gordon creates hope and a timeless new narrative on what the future of black leadership should look like and how we can get there. In Conversations in Black, Gordon brings together some of the most prominent voices in Black America today, including Stacey Abrams, Harry Belafonte, Charlamagne tha God, Michael Eric Dyson, Alicia Garza, Jemele Hill, Iyanla VanZant, Eric Holder, Killer Mike, Angela Rye, Al Sharpton, TI and Maxine Waters, and so many more to answer questions about vital topics affecting our nation today, such as: !--[if !supportLists]--· Will the black vote control the 2020 election? !--[if !supportLists]--· Do black lives really matter? !--[if !supportLists]--· After the Obama's presidency, are black people better off? !--[if !supportLists]--· Are stereotypical images of people of color changing in Hollywood? !--[if !supportLists]--· How is "Black Girl Magic" changing the face of black America? Bombarded with media, music, and social media messages that enforce stereotypes of people of color, Gordon set out to dispel what black power and black excellence really looks like today and offers a way forward for all in a new age of black prosperity and pride.

This book was written to start conversations about Black America, and how to propel the Black community forward - each chapter even came with questions for the reader to mull over. While I could tell black people would benefit the most from this book, I‘m happy I took the time to read it. I want to be the best ally I can be, and this book helped by exposing me to beliefs, customs, and thought processes I never knew.

I won‘t every fully understand the emotions that our black brothers and sisters are going through (now and on a day-to-day basis), but I will always stand with them. I picked up this book to get a better understanding of their viewpoints, and I‘m taking it all in. Of course this book won‘t mention the most recent events, but it did come out this January, so it‘s fairly up to date.
