Has America really overcome its ugly past of racism and discrimination? You decide, as you read Mark Rosenkranz's interviews with eight different people, including Brian Swann (brother of the former Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynn Swann who was also the 2006 gubernatorial candidate for the state of Pennsylvania.)

Everyone should be proud of their heritage and understand that "pride" is being proud of your ancestors. "prejudice" is believing that it makes you better than anyone else.

Indeed, this may even cause the purpose of the book to backfire, reinforcing such prejudiced beliefs. So while, as I say, it's short and
Good subject but needs an edit job bad. Found lots of typos. Could go a lot deeper with writing, could be surface level.
