The New Negro
September 12, 2022

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
"A spirit lurks in the shadows of America that, if summoned, can launch a renaissance of our shared humanity. That is his most profound gift to us."
So glad to finally read this major, award-winning book. I spent most of my sabbatical summer, and then some, getting through it.
While there is much to commend this biography, it really feels too long, going too in depth into minutiae at times. And was at times repetitive, I think because of the challenge of a text so long. It needed serious editing.
