This was a book suggested in an article by the Washington Post asking race and civil rights scholars what books should Virginia Governor Ralph Northam read to better understand why blackface was/is hurtful. So naturally, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to those. I'm not very familiar with the work of MLK (other than what we get in your average elementary school), so I expected to learn lots. I didn't. The narrative felt tired - like Honey was rehashing the same tired details without a new argument to be made.
