The Beast Side: Living (and Dying) While Black in America

The Endangered Species of America is a powerful and thought-provoking book that sheds light on the harsh realities faced by African Americans, particularly young Black men, in today's society.

Through the author's personal experiences and razor-sharp insights, the reader is taken on a journey through the urban war zone of Baltimore, Maryland, where the author fought his way up from the "beast side" of town, surviving murderous business rivals and predatory lawmen along the way.

Despite earning a master's degree from Johns Hopkins University, the author remained rooted in his community, only to find himself on the streets when the city erupted after the brutal killing of 25-year-old Freddie Gray while in police custody.

This book is a true dispatch from the other side of America, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who are often overlooked and marginalized.

It is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the ongoing struggle for racial justice in America.
