McGhee returns to the example of the swimming pool in the first episode of her new podcast, The Sum of Us, made in collaboration with Spotify and Higher Ground Productions, which will premiere on July 27. ![]() ![]() “There’s something about the idea of a swimming pool that is so simple, joyful, accessible, everybody loves it, that the idea that a community would choose to take that away from themselves in the name of racism just feels both unbelievable and totally believable-because it did happen.” “Racism is a really tough subject that is probably the most loaded and complex subject that we try to tackle together,” she said in a recent video interview. Ultimately, it’s a metaphor for the power of cross-racial solidarity-and what happens in its absence. In McGhee’s telling, the fact that in the 1960s many communities decided to fill in their public swimming pools rather than integrate them is a reminder that racism sometimes makes people do illogical things.

I would definitely recommend this book to both adults and young adults, as it combined a sufficiently realistic high school feel with mystery (what happened to Echo), heart wrenching drama (Noah's need for his family) and flashes of humor as the story unfolded.Īn Emotional Rollercoaster Ride - Great Story! The soothing, yet angsty timbre of his voice was a perfect complement to Tara Sand's Echo. MacLeod Andrews never disappoints when voicing young, male characters and his portrayal of Noah was sufficiently sexy yet vulnerable and even had me wiping away a tear at the end. She sounded a lot like Kat Denning to me. There were times I found Tara Sand's voice a bit grating at times, but her pacing and emotion would soon sink me back into the story.
