Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss Brandy Colbert’s first nonfiction work for teens, which opens with the award-winning African American author narrating her foreword. Kristyl Dawn Tift then vividly narrates a contextual account of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, a tragic event often omitted from history books. Colbert’s direct, stirring writing and Tift’s sensitive but straightforward narration reveal how linked events led to a complicated web of violence, explaining connections such as those between the police and the KKK. Colbert ends with a poignant afterword that draws chilling connections between the past and the present. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website. Published by Harper Audio.
