There is so much to take in with his work, that it might have just blended in to the rest of the horrific history of being black in America. <br />Thanks for the heads up about these books. I've added them to my lists.Cheriee Weichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662398117320256935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-30750838649709429632018-12-31T09:54:58.792-05:002018-12-31T09:54:58.792-05:00I'm adding these to my Goodreads shelf right n...I'm adding these to my Goodreads shelf right not! I could definitely stand to learn a great deal more about this time in our history (and, as you note, many history teachers aren't even aware of some of these events). Also, interesting note on your daughter and The Jungle! I’ve specifically avoided Upton Sinclair's The Jungle for years for the very fact that my dear friend during high school also read it and instantly became a vegetarian. She couldn’t stand the smell of meat cooking and it greatly impacted her life during a time when vegetarianism wasn't embraced in our society. She shared just enough from the book to make me feel sick. At that time in my life, I thought it would be very difficult to not be able to enjoy eating meat as I came from a family who enjoyed the woods and who regularly hunted and fished to feed our family. But now, 25+ years later, I suppose it wouldn't be such a difficult and life-altering move. Thank you for these reviews and hope you have a wonderful 2019!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-66049060073683997432018-12-31T09:06:59.283-05:002018-12-31T09:06:59.283-05:00So many great books already coming out in 2019 and...So many great books already coming out in 2019 and these sound terrific, Karen. I do know that Myra also shared about books that told women's stories, ones we also have never heard. I appreciate that authors are "digging" up the history for us to know! Thanks for these two books, will look for them. Happy New Year!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
