You get so tired. We have black children. I have a 15-year-old daughter. I mean, what do I tell her? I'm raising a son. I have no idea what to tell him. It's just--it's hard being black in this country when your life is not valued and people are worried about the protesters and the looters. And it's just people who are frustrated for far too long and not have their voices heard." In this powerful and persuasive book, Sellers expands on the issues he addressed in his New York Times bestseller My Vanishing Country, examining national politics and policies that deeply impact not only Black people in his home state of South Carolina but the lives of millions of African Americans in communities across the nation. Four years later, Sellers has an answer to the question he raised on CNN, offering much-needed prescriptions to help all Black American lives. Sellers explores inequities in healthcare, education, early childhood education, and policing, drawing on interviews with numerous thought leaders such as pioneering voting rights and poverty activist the Rev. William Barber, and Ben Crump, the civil rights legend who successfully uses the law to achieve justice for people of color in racially charged cases. He also shares his thoughts on conservative media and the forces and dark money behind firebrands such as Tucker Carlson. This thoughtful and practical work is a timely meditation on the state of our world today and how we can all play a part in making it better for tomorrow. -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Racism. 650 0 $a Racism against Black people. 650 0 $a Racism in the press. 650 0 $a Racism in law enforcement. 650 0 $a African Americans. 941 $a 2 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240504010316.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012253.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC0691D8084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
