Read an excerpt from "Our Time Is Now"

Stacey Abrams rocketed to national fame with her historic run for governor of Georgia in 2018.

So it would be reasonable to expect that a book she released in 2020 would be a political memoir — but instead, she’s released what novelist Tayari Jones describes as a “manifesto” in her review of the book.

Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America addresses the threats facing minorities’ right and ability to vote, as well as democracy itself.

You can read an excerpt of the book, released Tuesday, in the New York Times, where you’ll also find Jones’s review.
