This Is the Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism
by Don Lemon
Description
Drawing on his experiences as a Black journalist, reporter, and commentator, the author examines how racism shapes American history, institutions, culture, and everyday life. Framed as an urgent conversation with friends—and beginning with a personal letter to a young family member—the book connects the legacy of slavery and segregation to contemporary politics, media, economics, and social injustice. Blending memoir, historical reporting, and pointed cultural criticism, it confronts the persistence of systemic racism while considering the responsibilities of individuals and leaders. Passionate and deeply personal, this is a call to face the nation’s unfinished struggle and turn outrage into meaningful change.
