RaveThe Washington PostDeeply researched and beautifully written ... Last Seen is not a romanticized history. Giesberg forces readers to sit with the trauma of separation and the callousness of White supremacy. But equally, if not more, important is her tender human reminder that the love parents and siblings and children had for their family members never waned ... This history deserves to be read widely, taught carefully and preserved indefinitely.
Kate Masur
PositiveThe NationHelps exhume the often neglected history of both Northern racism and slavery ... A clear and compelling account, Masur’s book pushes us to rethink our understanding of anti-Blackness in the North and the activism that helped free Black people ... Though her book is deeply researched, Masur misses some opportunities to highlight the role and contributions of Black women in this struggle ... Nevertheless, Until Justice Be Done reminds us that, despite the popular conception of American history, change and progress are not inevitable in the United States.
