The night of May 25, 2020 changed America. George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man, was killed during an arrest in Minneapolis when a white cop suffocated him. The video of that nightās events went viral, sparking the largest protests in the nationās history and the sort of social unrest we have not seen since the sixties. While Floydās death was certainly the catalyst, (heightened by the fact that it occurred during a pandemic whose victims were disproportionately of color) it was in truth the fuse that lit an ever-filling powder keg.
Long Time Coming grapples with the cultural and social forces that have shaped our nation in the brutal crucible of race. In five beautifully argued chaptersāeach addressed to a black martyr from Breonna Taylor to Rev. Clementa PinckneyāDyson traces the genealogy of anti-blackness from the slave ship to the street corner where Floyd lost his lifeāand where America gained its will to confront the ugly truth of systemic racism. Ending with a poignant plea for hope, Dysonās exciting new book points the way to social redemption. Long Time Coming is a necessary guide to help America finally reckon with race.
