Don Lemon. THIS IS THE FIRE: What I Say to My Friends About Racism. Little, Brown, 2021.
Found this at the library booksale and bought it as research for my TRC workbook. I did enjoy reading this. My notation bookmarks make it look like a post-it porcupine. I found the personal material most interesting. He is from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
I do not get CNN so am not that familiar with the writer. I suspect he no longer works for that network, although the book is current, Trump-era and COVID lockdown.
It seems difficult to imagine a journalist being objective where this subject, racism, and inequality in America, is involved.
At this time, my takeaway is: ANGER & ACTIVISM.
Later.
