A Peculiar Indifference--#61 finished

The rest of the title:  The Neglected Toll of Violence on Black America.  Book was published September 2020, so right before Biden was elected but also during Covid.  It seems so long ago now.  Many of the things the author talks about on attempting to solve this issue takes money and in today's politics that seems impossible to even have this debate with everything being cut except for deportation money and defense.  Crazy doing tax cuts for the wealthiest while there are these issues still of violence in our cities.  Author lays out the research, makes the book read more like a college textbook at times and then some ways to help.  Sad but we are probably years away from any of these ideas gaining traction to start.

There are 4 WL for this book on PBS, so will probably post & mail off at some point.
