Eye Opening

As someone who grew up in California and had the 'Mission' unit in school, this was an incredibly eye-opening read for me. It made me realize how white washed our education system is and history is seriously told by the victors. I recommend this book to everyone I know, especially if they also grew up in California. One of my favorite books of all time.
