book“I need to alert you to something about the book in your hands: this won’t be an easy read,” writes the 37-year-old Inglewood resident and activist in his first book “All The White Friends I Couldn’t Keep: Hope – and Hard Pills to Swallow – About Fighting for Black Lives,” which was published March 22.
“I’m calling out things about how White people behave that are really uncomfortable for some people to look at. People are going to read it and see me criticizing things that they do and they’ve done,” he said during a recent phone interview a few days before the March 22 release of his 267-page book debut.
