This is a difficult for me to review. The audience is young blacks from age 8 to 12. That is fine for me, I am a 75 year white woman. The parts that were difficult to read was the assumption that the audience is Christian. There a lot of references to Bible which is fine. But I thought this is not appropriate for young Muslims, Jews and all other religions that do not believe that the Christian religion is the only religuon for people. I think that I objecting for myself too. A few of the questions at the end of the chapter were only for Christians. The author did reference
places in the bible that were fine but again it was the questions that I thought were too exclusive, assuming that Christinity is only way to fight racism.

Now what I liked and loved. The emphasis on fighting racism by forming friendships with people who are not like you. That made me feel very comfortable because I do that a lot and would love it if more people did. the history of racism was well written. When I was going up the Reconstruction Period was skipped. I remember seeing a political cartoon in for that period that gave me the creeps. It was definitely racist. I want to read the truth of that period. I will be looking for book on that

The author has short chapters on fighters against racism, for me the most inspiring is the one of Fannie Lou Hamer. It is short and leaves out the most heartbreaking moments of her life. I found audio and visual on the Internet that fills many of the holes and is example of a woman who spoke of the importance of voter registration and the power of the vote. Also the painful and deadly struggle for voting rights. ( )
