Great story on racism in America, and the institutions where it rests on the most! Highly recommend

Narrator sounded meh, but great story!

Just listen to the book the narrator of this summary is so monotone it made me sad that such great work was ruined by a poor presentation. If you don't have the patience to listen to the audio book do the version for young adults is it much shorter. I applaud Bryan Stevenson 's work for justice

Just do the book
