The Sacred Place

De: Daniel Black

Narrado por: Kevin R. Free

Widely hailed for its historical resonance, Daniel Black's The Sacred Place is a powerful examination of racial tensions in 1955 Mississippi.

Visiting from Chicago, 14-year-old Clement is unfamiliar with the social customs of the tiny town of Money. Striding into a general store, he offends the white store clerk by not placing his nickel in her hand. This seemingly innocuous act leads to a horrific murder and a conflict drawn along racial lines.

fabulous book

I throughly enjoy this entire book, top to bottom
it's soul soothing,. informative, enlightening and part of black history

Another treasure all around

Daniel Black is one of my favorite authors on the planet, and to couple his story with Kevin R. Free's unmatched narration made for one hell of an enjoyable listen. The story and performance brought me to tears; definitely a must-listen for everyone!

learning experience

there was so much that I learned. about the struggle and how it changed the face of history. but there was one character that I hated. and there was no reason for the portrayal of insanity that followed. it made me sick to think that the best of us is portrayed as stupid crazy to the point of delusion.

Sacred place is a release

The writing and performance were stellar. The effort to have each character’s voice match the description helped me to love and feel like I could’ve reached out and hugged them. The overall theme hurt my soul but the individual stories was food for my soul.

Very Interesting

Even though this story took place in the 50's it's very sad to know that things are slightly different but very much still the same today 😑.

Spiritually uplifting

Never in my life have a book of spoken words touched my soul so deeply it brought up new conversations and for this I thank you

I finished it too fast!

My god! I was hooked from the sample! I was beyond captivated by this story. I just could not wrap my mind on how things escalated. The past and the south is so much to swallow but D.B.’s way of storytelling made it digestible enough to keep going. Five stars!

Absolutely breathe TAKING

Listen I think everyone should read this book I recommend this book to every black person in the world🥹 beautifully written I loved every moment from beginning to finish one of my BEST READS EVER! Scared me some too but exciting and kept me on edge the entire time! This may be fiction but we all know this happened in reality

Sumnary

I enjoyed this story and the history behind it. This reminds me of all the pain and sorrow that my ancestors had to endure.
