The author was my commencement speaker at ASC. She was AMAZING.
Slightly more seriously -- in my AP Psychology class my senior year of high school, we had to do book reports (swear to god) that partially involved leading a class discussion. I picked this book.
The only person besides me who participated was the teacher, who was black and from New York, and a girl from Morocco. Everybody else in my class was white and silent. It's the kind of thing that sticks with you.
