The Message by Ta-Nehisi CoatesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
His writing is very lyrical and flows. In this he talks about his travels in Africa and Palestine. He also talks about the education system here. It's amazing how freaked out people get by the written word which leads to book bans. I felt we were going in the right direction (teaching history- the good, the bad, the ugly & being honest) and now we are backsliding. A lot.
