Book illustrates how Black culture drives language

"We all went our various different ways through the Great Migration, but one of the things that connects us is how something that they'll say in the Bay Area where Jarrett is from, is very connected to how we would say it in the South. It just sounds a little different," Tre’vell Anderson, co-author told FOX 11's Brooke Thomas.
