Welcome to Litsy!

Friday evening ft. Assata Shakur & some lovely Japanese whiskey. #blackauthors #blackhistoryreads #autobiography

My last official #BlackHistoryReads for #BlackHistoryMonth.

I tore through 80 pages of this last night and looking forward to settling in for more.

From the first story, "In the Blink of God's Eye."

Digging into this short story collection. Somehow I'm the first person on Litsy to be posting about this book. 😳

As you can probably tell from all the tabs, I absolutely adored this book. ❤️💕💜💖💛💘

It speaks so much truth without ever being preachy. And all while having a story that makes you want to keep reading well past bedtime.

My full (LONG) review is here: http://bit.ly/2mntnwt but I'll give a brief shoutout to the 10 page or so section that captures the feeling of the 2008 election better than anything I've read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started this one today. Loving these short stories. #BlackHistoryReads

What took me so long to read this?? Such an amazing story with incredible characters. I couldn't put it down! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BlackHistoryReads

What a turn of phrase.

I wish the blog in this book were real.

From "The Destruction of Black Civilization" by noted scholar Chancellor Williams. "To the Black youth of the Nineteen Sixties for Beginning the Second Emancipation -- the Liberation of Our Minds and thus Changing the Course of History."
