I live not too far from Point Comfort, so the 400th anniversary last year really emphasized that momentous turning point in our nation's history and the harsh legacy of racism that exists today. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is perhaps my own expectation of a book titled 1619, was that there would be more on the first Africans that arrived in English America and their subsequent enslavement. ![]() I did set it aside for awhile but only because of other things in life cropping up, not because I was bored. Excellent read, very informative and flowed nicely. ![]()
