"The Warmth of Other Suns" is one of my favorite books. Took forever to finish it, but totally worth reading and really changes our perspective on life and similar issues that our occurring today. I'm already excited for her next speech and I hope her book is mandatory reading in every high school
In my 73 years on this earth, I know readers are leaders. I love speaking out my feelings and opinions, so happy that RUclips, StoryCorps, etc. exists today. I have written journals since age 15' and would have written before then, had it not been for a nosey aunt, that found all my writing in the toe of my socks in my shoes etc. She is the only ghost I have seen, when she took over my body at 17.
This book is such an important and masterful document. Every person should read it (imagine if we made all American white-supremacists read it! I reckon some minds would change!)
James 2:8-9 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[a](A) you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism,(B) you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.(C)
"Black" people were never intended on being united states citizens. The dread scot case proves this. Emancipation proclamation, case law, was temporary and ended when the war was over. We dont comprehend law so we really believe we came over here on slave ships when the word slave derives from Slavic, our people were and still are POW. Law and history must be studied together. This is embarrassing that we still dont know we are home. It was about 300k that came over here that's like 5% of us lol. I never hear any of these black scholars mention treaties or white slavery that was still going on well into the 1800's. I never hear these black scholars mention that it was OUR people who were the southerner slave owners, never hear that truth bomb dropped by black scholars. I never hear black scholars talk about our identity prior to this "black" nonsense. Black, African American, Colored and etc., are all brands which means you want to be apart of the caste system to keep identifying as branded chattel. Once we realize it was our own selling us out, a lot moor will start to make sense. The idea of race is fairly new, it comes from the the French word Razza. Also the "English" the "Spanish" the "French" etc., was our people, "black nobility", get some J.A. Rogers literature particularly "Nature knows no color line". Due to family feuding still happening, this is why we were and many of you are still subjugated.

I listened to the audio books, since I am visually impaired.

Viewing this on 11/1/20. Excellent! Recently got the book and am excited to read it.
Isabel puts things into perspective. Very powerful and informative talk.
A stunning American story. How much we have in common .... thank you Ms Wilkerson.
"This migration was not just a haphazard unfurling of lost souls."
My God. A wrier.
This book is a masterpiece. It matters little if you are interested in the black experience in America. It is a universal story.
