This book, insightfully written by Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa, two Washington Post journalists, chronicles Floyd’s life and his multi-generational history, which parallels history detailed in books like The 1619 Project and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent. Can empathy engendered by witnessing Floyd’s terrible death be enlarged by learning about his life, thereby inspiring us to more effective action? Join us for a look at current events.
