Overall, The Black Box was interesting and informative. I wouldn't say this book brought any new insights or knowledge that will stay with me, but several of the metaphors weaves throughout will definitely stick with me. Those metaphors helped deepen my understanding of Black history and culture.

I've watched some of Mr Gates' television offerings and found them interesting and often moving. This book is a written version of a course he taught at Harvard. In each chapter I found new information and insights into our country's relationship with slavery and the descendents of the enslaved. A worthwhile read.
