A history book on racism that claims to not be a history book but rather a book that “contains history.” Reynolds brings the history (not history) of racism alive in this accessible remix of Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped From the Beginning. Clearly delineating assimilationists (cowards) from segragationists (haters) from antiracists (people who truly love), Reynolds leaves readers with a call to action — “Scrolling will never be enough. Reposting will never be enough. Hashtagging will never be enough… We have to be participants. Active.”

Recommended for Cream of the Crop.
