Racial Justice in America

January 1, 2021
The main topics addressed in this volume are summed up by the three chapter titles: "What Is Anti-Racism?"; "What Is White Privilege?"; and "What Is the Black Lives Matter Movement?" The authors ground their answers to these questions with historical background about race in America, from slavery to the Jim Crow era, from civil rights legislation in the 1960s to what led to the Black Lives Matter movement. The accessible text is supported by captioned photos in an inviting design and is enhanced by suggestions for what readers can do to make a difference. This series title offers an effective overview of both historical and contemporary events.
