Inheritance is such an important book by an author who is searing in his journey to explore the truth of his white male privilege at the cost of those around him - present and past.
His family from both his mother and father's sides had owned a large number of enslaved individuals. How does one begin to reckon with this past and how does it inform a present for a white man seeking to understand and repair his own white privilege?
Woods leaves no turn unturned in his pursuit to be turn the past into a better future - seeking to slash the vines of white supremacy that bind us all.
I cannot recommend this book - and this author - enough.

I must add that Woods co-wrote another amazing books about the gun task force in Baltimore City. It, too, is quite brilliant.

Rarely does one find such an honest and gifted author.
