We Are Not Yet Equal: Understanding Our Racial Divide by Carol Anderson, Nic Stone, Tonya Bolden

4.0

A history of racism, starting after the Civil War and tracing the attacks on voting rights, education, job opportunities both in the South (where whites felt free to be completely open in their aims of race supremacy) and in the rest of America, where sometimes they had to mask their language. It is looking at broad strokes, so it ignores some nuance, but honestly it most cases there really isn't much room for nuance anyway. The final chapters deal with the rolling back of the Voting Rights Act and the effects on minority access to the ballot box, and then an epilogue that says we can pull together.
