Save It for Later: Promises, Parenthood, and the Urgency of Protest by Nate PowellMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was more interesting than I was anticipating. At first I feared it would be a typical white liberal take on Trump's presidency but it quickly delves into much more fruitful territory such as white complicity, intergenerational differences, the uses of protest and the co-opting of pop cultural tropes by the far right. As expected from the author of March, there's several allusions and parallels to John Lewis' civil rights protests, along with deep personal soul searching.
Powell seems like a great dad too.
