This is both very well-researched and written in a very compelling manner, which makes even the most infuriating parts a good read. As simply the story of one family, albeit a very important one, coupled with the societal/governmental infrastructure within which and against with they struggled, this is a great read. Hopefully readers won't stop there.
This is an opportunity to see just how far we still have to go. Our state has become ever more surveillant, and the paramilitary arm of the white supremacist government, the police and other law enforcement agencies, has become more extreme in its "legal" techniques to maintain an unequitable society.
Highly recommended for those wanting a better, and more honest, history of the latter half of last century. Also those who might only know of Tupac and/or Assata, this will make you understand and appreciate them more.
