The more you understand someone's history, the better you can see
their humanity. This is true for individuals as well as for society
at large. Race relations have suffered because of the erasure of
important Black history and cultural context. As we fill in the
gaps of our collective knowledge, communities can grow in
understanding, empathy, and solidarity. Terence Lester shares the
buried history of the struggles Black people have faced against
unjust systems. He tells powerful stories of courage, injustice,
pain, and triumph, including ones from his own history. He also
unpacks the sociological and cultural dynamics of unconscious bias
and inattentional ignorance that keep us apart, and how they can be
overcome. This honest account of what it's like to be Black in
America paves the way for the church to move beyond showing support
from a distance toward loving one another in long-term solidarity,
advocacy, and friendship.
