MY VANISHING COUNTRY A Memoir

This listen couldn't be more timely. In the midst of the Black Live Matters movement, Sellers shares his story of growing up Black in the South and making his way to national prominence as a politician and then a CNN analyst. He's the son of activist parents, so the path he took is not surprising. Nor it is surprising to learn he has a smooth, confident delivery. Sellers shares the frustrations and hopes of being African-American at a time of tremendous change--from the promise of President Obama to the disappointments of the current administration. And he does so in an engaging and forceful style that might leave listeners wondering if (hoping?) he'll give up television for a return to politics.
