In Read Until You Understand-a line from a note he wrote to her-she shares a lifetime of discoveries: the ideas that framed the United States Constitution and that inspired Malcolm X's fervent speeches, the soulful music of Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, the daring literature of Phillis Wheatley and Toni Morrison, the artistry of Romare Bearden, and many others. Having taught a popular Columbia University survey course of Black literature, she explores themes such as grace, justice, rage, self-determination, beauty, and mercy to help readers grapple with the ongoing project that is American democracy. Joining her experiences in Black communities with her immersion in the glorious works of Black artists, Read Until You Understand is a powerful testament to the enduring wisdom of Black culture and history"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 810.9896 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 810.9896 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 810.9896 Griffin Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 810.9896 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
