The book, We are Not Yet Equal, is an excellent summary of America's history with slavery and its legacy beginning in 1619 with the inception of slavery in the Colonies chronicling the systemic institutions from the Supreme Court to local business that either through implicit or explicit bias continue to deny fairness and equality to Black Americans.
Just Mercy examines the passion and drive of a young attorney, Bryan Stevenson, who worked to ensure fair trials and sentences for Black men and boys who have been denied justice and fairness. Today, the Equal Justice Initiative continues this important work.
By tracing the lives of 3 different individuals and families, Wilkerson explores the devastating impact of Jim Crow on 3 families and people, forcing them to escape to what they hoped would be better lives in NYC, Chicago, and LA. The American Dream for Black Americans remains continues to remain allusive.
White Fragility is an eye-opening book that ask progressive white people to reflect upon their actions and words in order to open a discussion about systemic racism in the US. At times, it's a difficult read, but helpful in pointing out implicit bias.
Similar to White Fragility, this book is a powerful examination written by a Black woman addressing implicit bias. This book will point out that even white people's best intentions may be hurtful to people of color.
This book is written for young adults and thus a very easy read that addressed systemic racism. It is not a history book, rather a story of people of color.
Why do groups self-segregate? This book examines some of those reasons and the impact on persons of color.
