I am just beginning to read your book. Thank you for your willingness to talk to "white" people and share the Black experience, as well as help us grow to interact with more respect and awareness. I am just beginning to realize i have much more to learn about white supremacy and its impact, especially recently, on Black america, and to learn how i can take an active role in dismantling white supremacy in the US.
