All great reads, but the "Crazy for Democracy" and "Letter to the Sentinel" we're very powerful. How those works apply still in this day is mind blowing!!

92Y with black people talking about race. Didn't see that coming.... Do you have any black people who talk about literally anything else, you know, so as not to put them in a victimhood bucket.
