Yvonne Blake Ervin
Black Blood at the Kitchen Table will feed your mind with the continuing legacy of racism and segregation in the United States of America in 2025.Yvonne Blake Ervin challenges the misguided notion that people of color are free. While the playbook has changed, the goal remains the same: to keep Black and Brown people downtrodden, broke, and under-served.In this memoir and social commentary, she recalls seeing 'for whites only' signs, colored sit at the back of the bus, and enter restaurants from the rear to pick up their orders. She also reflects on using secondhand books from white schools when they received new textbooks.Today’s challenges are different: The U.S. Department of Education is being dismantled, the Consumer Protection Bureau is being abolished, and financial institutions are increasingly taking advantage of hardworking consumers.Join the author as she reflects on where the Black and Brown community has been, where it stands, and how its members can change their trajectory to realize the brighter future they deserve.
