Julia Braxton’s Reviews > We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy > Status Update

Just sobbing. One of the hardest books I’ve ever read and it’s 100% the timing. So much to say about hindsight and yet I’m speechless. I am not Coates’s biggest fan and yet I am so grateful to him for this. The essays are excellent, of course (The Case for Reparations is a classic - so happy to revisit) but I can never thank him enough for documenting this time period for us, lest we ever forget.
