Brilliant writer and very intelligent man 🕊

[@nicolekinzonzi1832]

What makes him a brilliant writer, exactly. Just curious

[@LarryGriffithBand]

I can't recall the last time I've read such a powerful piece. After the last page, I excitedly started back at the beginning!

[@lordswint9062]

Good job my brother I definitely have to read the book👍🏿🙏🏿

Both Toni Morrison and Ta-Nehisi Coates attended Howard University.

[@nicolekinzonzi1832]

Howard University isn't what it used to be when Thurgood Marshall attended it. As you can see, TaNeshi and Toni possessed the gift of life and language. When I browsed it's website, the testimonials were VERY 9th grade high school. Only one student, a male, had anything seriously insightful to say. 1 out of 10:(

[@skip2265]

Well as a Howard U Alum.....I can honestly say the young start off one way and graduate another way....Ready to take on the world! Howard is constantly reclaiming its throne!!!❤🎉❤

[@azendaythemanoflove]

A quite odd position for Coates. On the one hand he sits with royalty. On the other hand that royalty gushes over him.

[@cougarlady112]

Oprah is so amazing! So proud of Ta'Nehisi Coates for this brilliant work!

[@nicolekinzonzi1832]

Pride cometh before a fall...and idolizong
