I was very interested to read All You Have to Do. I do enjoy dual timeline books a lot. I enjoyed the author’s writing. I feel like I learned some things reading this story. The story is about Gibran in 1995 dealing with racism and also about his uncle,Kevin in 1968 dealing with it as well. It is unforunate that after 30 years Black men still have to deal with some of the issues they did in society. The author shows how Black men and women sometimes deal with racism differently; women would just sort of let things go to avoid confrontation and men felt like they needed to stand up for themselves, which seems to be true. It is sad how Kevin was treated differently than the white boys in school. The author showed how Kevin’s mother tried to protect him by asking him not to “cause” trouble at school by standing up for himself only because she wanted the best for him. I truly enjoyed this book.
