Colson Whitehead is a phenomenal author. Between The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad, I've enjoyed each book I've had the pleasure of reading from this author. Harlem Shuffle is the story of Ray Carney. To his customers and neighbors, Ray is a upstanding salesman with reasonably priced furniture. He is making a life for his wife and they are expecting their second child together. While Elizabeth's parents might not approve of him or their house across from the subway tracks, it's still a proud life they've made together. Few people know he descends from a line of uptown crooks and hoods, and that his facade of normalcy has a few cracks in it. Cracks that are starting to growing bigger and bigger. Cash is tight, so if his cousin Freddie occasionally drops off the odd ring or necklace, Ray has no reason to question where it comes from. He knows a discreet jeweler downtown who doesn't ask questions also. Then Freddie falls in with a crew who plans to rob the Hotel Theresa and volunteers Ray's services as the fence. The heist doesn't go as planned; they rarely do. Now Ray has a whole new set of clientele, one made of shady cops, vicious gangsters, and a whole lot of Harlem lowlifes. As Ray navigates this double life, he begins to see who actually pulls the strings in Harlem. Can Ray avoid being killed, save his cousin, and grab his share of the big score, all while maintaining his upstanding reputation as the go to source for all your quality home furniture needs? Can someone bring this to the big screen, please!

Over the past few years, I've realized how little people know about The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. I grew up knowing about it and I was aware of how it is such a significant part of Black American history. It's disappointing but quite on brand for people to not be educated about this injustice against the predominantly Black Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I automatically added this book to my to-read list because I am always trying to learn more about the past. Because if we don't learn from our past, we're destined to repeat it. Black Birds in The Sky is the unflinching nonfiction account of the Tulsa Race Massacre. It examines the tension that was brought to a boil by many factors. White resentment of Black economic and political advancement, the resurgence of white supremacist groups, and many more played a part in this horrific massacre. The Tulsa Race Massacre has failed to fit into the story Americans like to tell themselves about the history of their country. This book will show us this story is the story of America. By showing us who we are, points to a way forward. This book is timely and worth a read from all of us.
