it was so nice reading about this revolutionary movement at a time when my own movements and groups tend to disappoint me. it's a movement that does a lot of things right. also it's great to witness the affection and understanding with which the characters treat each other. props for including disabled people and the super super nice quotes by mariame kaba and gwendolyn brooks. there was not a lot going on plot-wise or suspension-wise but the lovely characters made up for it.
