Book Discussion: Four Hundred Souls (parts 7 & 8)
Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619 - 2019,
edited by
Ibram X. Kendi & Keisha Blain.
In “Four Hundred Souls,” Blain and Kendi, both leading scholars of African American history, have gathered 80 Black writers and 10 poets to tell a community story, separating each chapter into five-year intervals, each author taking a thread. The book begins in 1619, with the arrival of the Spanish ship the White Lion, its bowels filled with 20 captive Africans (a year before the Mayflower arrived), and ends in 2019, the penultimate year of our 45th president, who emboldened white nationalists. Four hundred years of African America. The authors, each in their individual voice, raise a Black chorus, demystify racial assumptions, connect the dots of law and jurisprudence, lay the unspoken cultural truths bare, look at the engineering of the foundational aspects of institutional racism and show an America ashamed of its history.'
This week we will discuss Parts 7 & 8, pages 225 - 304.
