Ibram X. Kendi Instagram – To think that Zora Neale Hurston and Cudjo Lewis did not live to see #Barracoon published. And now, it is a New York Times Best Seller again! ๐๐พ
I am full of gratitude for the magnificent visual artist @jazzleejohnson. I am full of thanks for my literary agent, Ayesha Pande, and my editor, Luana Horry. I am full of gratefulness for Zoraโs descendants, the trustees of the @zoranealehurstontrust, who supported me in adapting #Barracoon for young readers. I am full of appreciation for the booksellers, book reviewers, event organizers, educators, and content creators who championed this book. I am full of thanks for the kids and adults who are reading or soon will be reading #Barracoon.
I am full of gratitude on this first day of #BlackHistoryMonth and pouring it out to Zora and Cudjo! ๐ซ๐๐พ๐ซถ๐ฟ | Posted on 01/Feb/2024 19:30:34
