Fire in the Streets by Kekla Magoon

A good follow up that covers the riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago and the increasing pressure on the Black Panthers. It doesn't have quite as much punch as the first installment in the series, but it still wrestles with tough issues ...more

Wanted to like this more with all the art and artists and post-funeral discovery of a loved one. But it kinda dragged and felt more complicated than necessary (in fairness, I skipped the first one in this series, and it feels like the rare romance st ...more

I give it four stars because it was funny and surprising and all the good things. But I almost gave it three stars because a character choice near the end was just so insane it made me angry, and while that's often part of romance novels, it was neve ...more

Quotes by Kevin D. Hendricks  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The whole point of all this reading is to learn and grow. So, finally, talk about what you read. Think and reflect on the things you read. Process the ideas. Jot down the questions. Books stimulate thought, so take advantage of it and write it down.”
Kevin D. Hendricks, 137 Books in One Year: How to Fall in Love With Reading

“When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among brothers, To make music in the heart. Howard Thurman, the late author, professor and civil rights leader”
