This book had additional layers of meaning for me. I rode the 57 bus in the 1960s to Oakland High School. It was the mid-20th century and another time in an Oakland that was changing quickly. We never could have foreseen the future Oakland, which movies like Sorry to Bother You and Blindspotting depict, or envision what would happen on the 57 bus on November 4, 2013. Have we been catapulted into a world which is not of our choosing? How do we learn tolerance and respect for others? Thank you to Dashka Slater for presenting as objective a view of this story as possible. Thank you for explaining all of the ins and outs of how people see themselves in the world and how others can see something else and how they react. Nothing is easily explained. There are many stories and each person sees things differently. We are often told a simplified version and are then quick to pass judgment. Hopefully after reading this book, more people will realize that each person is an individual and should be treated as such.
