Yet, history and headlines alike expose the fallacy of those assumptions, particularly when viewed in the light of a national culture of white supremacy and systemic racial injustice. In fact, Smith argues, the two texts we count as sacred have not been merely impotent in eliminating racism; they have been used to support and sustain white supremacy. This important work examines how our foundational documents have failed people of color and asks the question, Can those whom a nation has considered "we the problem" ever become "we the people" who are celebrated in the Preamble to the Constitution? What will it take to reclaim the transforming and affirming power of God and government to secure liberty and justice for all?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African Americans. 650 0 $a Racism $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States. 650 0 $a Race relations $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 651 0 $a United States $x Race relations. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Civil rights. 700 1 $a Carruthers, Iva E., $d 1945- $e author of introduction, etc. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Smith, Susan K.
