This Is the Fire

In this vital book, Don Lemon addresses America's urgent question of ending racism, beginning with a letter to his Black nephew and sharing reflections on his slave ancestors, upbringing under segregation, and confrontations with leaders.

He visits sites of historical trauma like a slave port and recalls uprisings near his birthplace, while covering 2020 protests, urging daily resistance with love.

Lemon offers a searing ultimatum blending history, personal anecdotes, and modern analysis on the Black Lives Matter movement.
