If there is any time to read this book, IT IS NOW! This novel by Michael Eric Dyson provides a roadmap from racial reckoning to reconciliation. In letters written to 5 black martyrs, Dyson, a distinguished scholar of race and religion, brings to light black inequity, the struggle between the competing approaches of the "black next" versus the "white again", the expectation of reinforcing white comfort (both as a noun and a verb) and ending w/a plea for social justice & hope for the nation.
