THE DEVIL YOU KNOW A Black Power Manifesto

"Manifesto" is the perfect word to use to describe this compelling, provocative listen. Narrator JD Jackson's gravelly voice and deliberate delivery match the insightful content and thoughtful argument presented. Blow's argument challenges listeners to think beyond the current conversations about race, politics, and white supremacy. Instead, he presents a step-by-step plan--using examples, statistics, historical data, and personal stories--for Black Americans to create the necessary power shift that will lead to racial equality. He also urges the use of collective action and collective power within the Black community to work to dismantle white supremacy. Jackson conveys Blow's ideas with a thought-provoking, measured delivery and matches the passionate call to action being presented. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
