    Tracy K. Smith's book, To Free the Captives, is a personal manifesto on memory, family, and history that explores how we can come to a new view of our shared past. Smith uses personal, documentary, and spiritual thinking to understand who we are as a nation and what we might hope to mean to one another. She uses the generations of her patrilineal family to lean backward toward history, gathering a fuller sense of the lives her ancestors led, the challenges they endured, and the sources of hope and bolstering they counted on. Smith's book is a powerful reminder of the strength and continuance of Black people and the importance of understanding our shared past.
