activism book of all time by BookAuthority), More than an Athlete,
Fatherhood: Rising to the Ultimate Challenge, and Voices of the

Activist and former NBA player Thomas follows up his 2018 interview collection, We Matter, with Q&As informed by the turmoil of 2020 and 2021, with a similar assortment of interviewees: athletes (Isiah Thomas, Steph Curry, Breanna Stewart), media figures (Yamiche Alcindor, Jake Tapper) and family members of Black men killed or brutalized by police (Willie McCoy's brother, Rodney King's daughter) . . . A relevant, occasionally eye-opening collection of Q&As on race and privilege.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
