The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander was pivotal for me in understanding what "systemic" really means. Huge eye opener for me, I was so absorbed I read it in one day!
I’m glad you’re up here. I read Too Heavy a Yoke some years back when I had trouble with how my daughter’s school was teaching about slavery and other aspects of the Black identity. So, I got your book and some others and took my kids on a trip to the Civil Rights Trail. I’ve since recommended your book to many people and have referenced it in sermons along with t the work of Christena Cleveland. Both of y’all helped helped keep me in the pulpit a little longer than I would have otherwise.

@drchanequa can your class be audited?
I added several of these to my reading list. Right now I'm reading Be a Revolution: How Everyday People Are Fighting Oppression by Ijeoma Oluo.
