In this treasury of over 1,000 quotes, you will find some of the bittersweet humor that has helped sustain blacks in this country through long, oppressive history. But, in the words of both blacks and whites, you will also find the stark contrast between the "incalculable" advantages of being born white and the "all-consuming" burden of being born black. Melba Patillo Beals writes in her heart-wrenching memoir : The task that remains is to cope with our interdependence -- to see ourselves reflected in every other human being and to respect and honor our differences." That is the message of this book. A clean and tight copy. A bit of cover soiling, else near fine.
