I seem to mourn a little when I finish a book... a really good book. But I need to give back Michael Dyson's What Truth Sounds Like. What I gathered is that Truth sounds bold, courageous, sometimes disruptive... but mostly humanitarian. The book looks into the lives of historical persons like Martin Luther King Jr., Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin. Dyson explains how today Colin Kaepernick, LeBron James and many more carry the words of truth forward.
