We‘re heading to California on Thursday and I have been in a wicked reading slump. So I picked these up today for the trip, and hopefully one will work out for me. All of them rather slim so as not to overwhelm myself. 😵💫

pickThe facts of American white supremacy with necessary honesty, asking white people to take ownership and work toward doing better. I got the companion journal to allow some thoughtful reflection.
pickThe second half of the title for this book is misleading. Yes, a white woman brought down DC Stephenson—a man with strong roots in the KKK…but not in the way you think. If I say more, I‘ll give it away. Remember: privilege.
pickThis is the story the KKK‘s rise to prominence in the state of Indiana and throughout the US and the crime and subsequent court case that resulted in the high-water mark for the organization‘s power and influence. This is American history that everyone should know, but that no one learns in school. I was left wondering, if it wasn‘t for Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson‘s violent and criminal behavior, how much more power would the Klan have amassed?
