I read this book in TWO days (super fast for me). It discusses a lot of heavy topics dealing with racism, but at the same time, it was an “easy” read for me. It felt like Acho was sitting down on my couch beside me as I read his words. 

This book covers a lot of topics in only 245 pages. It felt like the main text in a White Americans: Racism 101 college course. While I know I still have PLENTY of growth to make, I found this book to almost be too simplistic. I wanted more depth around certain topics...but I also don’t think that was the author’s purpose. My understanding is Acho set out to answer questions about racism in an approachable way and he did just that. 

One of my favorite things about the book was all of the action items Acho included at the end  of each chapter. From petition links, to GoFund me pages to additional books to read, I appreciated all of the external information Acho included so readers could continue their anti racist journey. 

This book was worth the read!
