Review of Can Assassins Really Kill You?


I like Paul McDonald's easy, laid back style of writing and narrating. In this first-person essay, he talks about how little many of us who grew up in a white neighborhood knew about Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, and about his quest to learn more about these great men. This would be a nice commentary to drop in during Black History Month, or around Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It's a straight read, with no music or introduction, and I think it holds up well as a self-contained piece.
