Praise for Why Didn’t We Riot?:
“[Bailey] suppressed his anger, worked to bridge racial divides, took his family to a mostly white church for almost two decades. Now he’s confronting these emotions in a new collection of essays…[exploring truths] that people don’t often talk about.” —NPR, All Things Considered
“A powerful lesson in history and truth…Through a combination of poignant memoir and social and cultural analysis, Bailey tackles a range of hot topics as well as his own prior complacency. A masterful storyteller…Bailey pulls no punches…Brilliant, searing, and surprisingly vulnerable.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“[A] much-needed book…Powerful…illuminating.” —Library Journal (starred review)
