Packed with information, this book is an examination of how racism has cobbled progress for this country and its citizens, both white and Black, since its inception. From unions to health care to schools to housing, I learned a lot about policy and how it was shaped, and I gained a better understanding of systematic racism and how it negatively affects white people as well as Black people. If only white people who support conservative Republican policies and politicians would read this book and realize how they are voting against their own best interest and see that when we all come together we all reap the benefits of progress.
