Created equal : the painful past, confusing present, and hopeful future of race in America / by Carson, Ben,author.; Carson, Candy,author.; King, Alveda C.(Alveda Celeste),writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-256).No one is born a racist -- How we look at race -- History of slavery and racism in America -- Guilt and victimhood surrounding race -- Critical race theory and the 1619 Project -- The George Floyd turning point -- Media and big tech -- Does systemic racism exist in America? -- Judeo Christian values and racism -- Is it racism or classism? -- Education the great equalizer -- The path forward."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. Though slavery in America formally ended in the 1860s, the vestiges of that evil institution are still with us today, and those vestiges often inflict guilt on some and facilitate feelings of victimhood in others. In Created Equal, Dr. Carson uses his own personal experiences as a member of a racial minority, along with the writings and experiences of others from multiple backgrounds and demographics, to analyze the current state of race relations in America. Instead of using race as an excuse to remake America into something completely antithetical to the Constitution, Dr. Carson suggests ways to enhance and bring great success to our nation and all multiethnic societies by magnifying America's incredible strengths instead of her historical weaknesses."--

This groundbreaking collection of thirty-eight biographical and autobiographical texts chronicles the lives of literary black Africans in British colonial America from 1643 to 1760 and offers new strategies for identifying and interpreting the presence of black Africans in this early period"--

A change is gonna come / by Cooke, Sam,author.(CARDINAL)366251; Smith, Nikkolas,1985-illustrator.(CARDINAL)792068;
"The immortal lyrics of Sam Cooke's inspiring civil rights anthem are among the most powerful in music history. Written as an ode to the struggles and joy of Black Americans living under the oppression of Jim Crow, "A Change Is Gonna Come" became a rallying cry for justice and equality when it was shared in 1964. Now, more than sixty years later, the fight for freedom continues, and these sweeping lyrics remain as important and soul stirring as ever. Alongside Sam Cooke's inspiring words, Nikkolas Smith's breathtaking art guides young readers through pivotal moments in American history. The award-winning illustrator of The 1619 Project: Born on the Water, powerfully references civil rights milestones and Black freedom fighters, empowering all of us to continue the mission of change." --Ages 4-8.
