"External physical characteristics that are genetically encoded are things over which no individual has control. But rather than appreciating the gift of diversity, some have chosen to use it to drive wedges between groups of people. Some of these external characteristics are associated with the past moral failing of slavery.

That's the sidewalk graffiti that started it all ... Well, no, actually, a lady tripping over Rashad at the store, making him drop a bag of chips, was what started it all.

So then Rashad, an ROTC kid with mad art skills, was absent again ... and again ... stuck in a hospital...

This important new book challenges this familiar narrative of the rise...
