This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism

This book is a vital read for anyone seeking to understand and end racism in America.

Don Lemon, a renowned journalist and Black man, offers a personal and poignant plea to fix the systemic flaws that have plagued our nation for centuries.

Through his reporting and reflections on his ancestors, upbringing, and adult experiences, Lemon provides a searing ultimatum to America: we must resist racism every single day with love.

With a focus on the slave port where one of his direct ancestors was shackled and shipped to America, a slave uprising in Louisiana, and the heart of the 2020 protests in New York City, Lemon's call-to-action is authentic and hard-won.

This book is an urgent and deeply personal read that will leave readers with a newfound understanding of the racial divisions that have plagued our nation and the power to effect change.
