The Beautiful Struggle Is Out

By Ta-Nehisi Coates

So my book finally hits stores today. Hooray me. Anyway, there's an excerpt from it running over at The Root. Props to them. The book is basically a memoir of my time growing up in West Baltimore with my older brother and my Vietnam vet/Black Panther father. I think I can truthfully say, it's a pretty good book. I'll try to keep you guys informed about readings and such, without completely turning this blog into a device strictly for hawking my wares.
