Finished reading: Striving by Jo Thomas 📚 — a great look at the challenges her generation faced, framed by some of the most consequential events of the 1960s through the early 2000s. Thomas covered civil rights, the Mob in Detroit, Castro’s Cuba, the Troubles in Ireland, hurricanes and unrest in the Caribbean, the rise of the white-supremacist movement in the U.S. in the 1990s, and so much more. A compelling and engaging book (though it did take me a chapter or so to get comfortable with the present tense).
