Description

One day in the dentist's office journalist Walt Harrington heard a casual racist joke that left him enraged. Married to a black woman, Harrington is the father of two biracial children. His experience in the dentist's office made him realize not only that the joke was about his own children but also that he really knew very little about what it was like to be a black person in America.After this rude awakening, Harrington set off on a twenty-five-thousand-mile journey through black America, talking with a wide variety of black and white people along the way, including a rap star, an old farmer, and a convicted murderer. In Crossings, winner of the Gustavus Myers Award for the Study of Human Rights, he relates what he learned as he listened. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
