#PouredOver

“I wouldn't have written the book if I were not hopeful. I mean, the act of writing this book was a prayer for our country - it's making the case that there's another way of looking more deeply under the surface of our country, a way of seeing it that can enlighten us…”
From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson, Caste combines history, social commentary and individual narratives into a work that is wholly original, stunningly written and impressively researched. Wilkerson joins us to talk about arriving at the concept of caste in America, The Warmth of Other Suns, the personal stories that connect readers to Caste, her hope for the future and more with Poured Over’s host, Miwa Messer. Stick around after the interview for TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Jamie.

As I watched this video, the movie has been made? It was awesome. I can't stop crying. I learn so much. I'm still trying to process the information that I have learned. Prayer is so needed. God bless Isabel, awesome, awesome book!

So true that there are no "black" people in Africa. I was born in a country in West Africa, my birth certificate & passport has no racial identitifiers. I came to the US at 18 to attend university and I got a new label..... black!
