I know that the school systems in America are not telling the whole truth about what happened during the Civil Rights period, but I was amazed at how much I wasn't aware of. This book was phenomenal and I would highly recommend reading it with the audio if you have the chance because I think that added so much to my reading experience. I think that this book is so important to share with everyone because if we do not learn from the mistakes of our past we are doomed to repeat them.
