How I Shed My Skin: Unlearning the Racist Lessons of a Southern Childhood by Jim Grimsley

emotional reflective slow-paced

4.0

This is a raw look at school integration in the 60’s from an insiders point of view. Grimsley digs deep into the rhetoric and structures in place in the south that create and sustain racism and racial bias as he tells the story of his experiences as a student attending public school as they went from segregated to school choice to desegregation/integration. I thought it was thoughtful and interesting.
