I have started reading the book, Stride Towards Freedom The Montgomery Story by MLK jr and it has opened my eyes completely. MLK tells the story of the Montgomery boycotts and his participation in the boycott. He paints a picture of segregation in the 50s, and its effects on the African American population especially Montgomery.
When I started looking at past Reddit posts/comments and even Youtube political commentaries I started to see blatant lies about what happened during the Montgomery boycotts. This led me to think about how many things in my life have I been lied to about? This has sparked a love for reading for me. I don't want to live a life of ignorance or blatant lies. It feels like the internet is a huge source of misinformation and an easy spreader of it. My goal is to read 25 books this year. Almost one down.
Have any of y'all seen that reading has opened your eyes towards past misinformation?
