Strange Fruit: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History
by Joel Christian Gill
I was flipping through this book at work one day, rather flippantly, (Hee Hee) when I stumbled on that story, and I started reading it. I immediately passed it to my coworker. She read it and immediately passed it to another coworker, who read it, and passed it to a library patron. A group of restless teens passed by, and I gave it to them. They turned into focused teens. THAT my friends is the power of this book and the stories it tells. Insanely amazing. The "Two Letters" tale is achingly, heartwrenchingly beautiful. In a "you mess with my child I will kill you" sort of beauty.
