Thank you for the amazing review. This is a very difficult topic to address, and this book is very interesting. I think it is a good read for anyone who wants to know more about Black people's history in America.

Has equality really been achieved? Are resources distributed equally? Is discrimination still ongoing? Such are the questions that are roused while reading this amazing book. It is really enlightening. Great review!

I'm always interested in American history. This book seems to highlight things that were not taught in my classes almost 40 years ago. Congratulations on BOTD!

Thanks for another thoughtful review. It sounds like the author did a good job of covering Black American history (including the impact of Covid) and the unequal opportunities, even in today's society. You brought up a good point that the book would be an excellent assignment for high school students.

The historical accuracy of the book is my favorite aspect of it. While it is easy for the average person to see that discrimination is still alive and well, it is another to see this discrimination throughout history by reading historical facts. Thanks for the review!

Other people's view on history and how it impacted them is crucial. It is easy to overlook certain events if they do not affect you directly. While reading, I expect to be hit with dark realities I never thought about. Your review was wonderfully written.

Absolutely agree! The author's genuine approach shines through in every chapter, making it an invaluable resource for all ages to understand systematic exclusion based on skin color. Kudos to Bertha for the insightful review. Huge congrats to the author on winning BOTD.

An eye-opening view on black lives can be found in the book "Say My Name" by Vickey Robinson, which gives us a brief history from President Lincoln freeing all slaves and history to current times. This is an interesting book to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

"Say My Name" by Vickey Robinson is actually the author's view on Black lives in the USA. The story begins with the coming to power of President Lincoln and the freeing of the slaves. The book is professionally edited.

This book, in my opinion, is highly pertinent given the current circumstances. Although I believe it is important to raise awareness of this issue and advocate for equal justice for all races, the question of when it will end remains. I think we should look for answers to this problem that seems to never end.
Excellent work anyway.

Racial and color discrimination should just stop. We are humans, and we all deserve equal rights and opportunities. Say My Name captures the history of Blacks Americans, right from when Lincoln was president until today. I'm also interested in reading the author's opinions and views on the treatment of black Americans. Congratulations BOTD!
