In Breathe: A Letter to My Sons, Imani Perry issues a challenge to society to see Black children as deserving of humanity. She admits fear and frustration for her African American sons in a society that is increasingly racist and at times seems irredeemable. However, as a mother, feminist, writer, and intellectual, Perry offers an unfettered expression of love—finding beauty and possibility in life—and she exhorts her children and their peers to find the courage to chart their own paths and find steady footing and inspiration in Black tradition.
The Common Read selection committee of our Unitarian Universalist Association has chosen this book for 2021, as the country reckons with what it means to live as a Black or Brown American within systems of institutional racism.
