SUMMARY OF THIS IS THE FIRE BY DON LEMON: Igniting the Fire to Constructively Tackle Racism in all it Forms
This is a summary and analysis of the book and not the original book and is not associated with the original author in any way, this book is intended as a summary to and not a replacement for, "This is the Fire by Don Lemon"
This is a book with more than just a story to tell it is a revolution, a time for change, a time to get up and have your voices heard not just through action but necessary and needed legislation.
We cannot join hands and become united until we address our differences and come together to form a more perfect union.
Much like marriage we are all in this together, we cannot yell, we cannot hate - We must love. Children aren't born hating one another. We can and must do better.
This book, like so many, discusses our nation’s ongoing racism. Lemon’s remarkable prose piqued my interest immediately. His sentences flow one into the other and he is saying something.
he opens his book with a letter to his nephew, he evokes a sorrowful pitch to his words he proceeds with reporting and reflections on his slave ancestors, and how he was raised in the shadows of segregation.
Known for his monologues on racism, broken systems, and administrations, this book seems even more personal. Showing us what is wrong, how wrong it is, and how we maybe can begin to repair what is broken. His detailing of the U.S.’s history of institutional racism and white supremacy was well researched and explained. His personal connections to the historical events enhanced the reader’s connection to the work.
