The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race by Jesmyn Ward.

Ward's book is a response to James foretelling and cautionary realism of the future when systematic racism continues to flourish in each generation and those who are tired of it, will stop marching/singing but instead will start killing/shouting.
