My Vanishing Country--#62 finished

 This is a memoir by Bakari Sellers, a political analyst on CNN.  I have seen him on the Abbey Phillip show & really liked what he was saying so when I saw his book at 1/2 Price Books and was like $2.00, I bought it.  He has had a really interesting life as well as interesting opinions.  I thought I was sort of up on things but I hadn't heard of the state police shooting in Orangeburg, SC in 1968 before the Kent State shootings/killings.  Bakari's father was charged & spent time in prison for this even though at that time he was not at the protest, he was at other times.  How this changed his family's life and then Bakari is a really interesting part of his life story.  I enjoyed this book and look forward to continuing to see Bakari on CNN or maybe back in elected politics.

There are 4 WL for this book on PBS so might post & send away but no hurry to do so at this point.
