Book Review: How to be an Anti-Racist

Last week I got out Ibraham X. Kendi’s relatively new book, How to be an Anti-Racist out of the Bethlehem Public Library as it caught my eye when I was browsing for books. It was the first book I read in my summer reading program.

I found it nearly impossible to put down once I got into reading it up at camp. It is a thoughtful discussion of the topic of racism, a reminder that we must all speak out against the unfair treatment of African Americans. For what laws are fair and just for blacks are just for all of us, because if laws treat blacks fairly when they are pulled over on the road then all of us will be treated more fairly.
