Sample Book Insights: #1 I was a credulous child. I believed the televangelists were right because somebody allowed them to speak on television, and my grandma nodded along while they spoke, grunting in agreement. I woke every morning with the fear that this could be the day people disappear. #2 The ongoing movement for Black lives is a reflection of the world’s reckoning with death-dealing systems of racial oppression. #3 The ancient Greek word apocalypse means to reveal or to unveil. It was a well-known, deeply political literary genre that used dramatic imagery and symbolic language. John wrote the biblical Apokolypsos to intervene against a rise of flag-waving for the Roman Empire in his community. #4 I want to clear up the myths that racism is no longer a problem in America, and that we can simply be ourselves and not be discriminated against. I want to encourage Black people to stop being slaves to the white world and its myths.
