It also examines contemporary issues like police brutality, voter suppression, and the rise of nationalist movements. By understanding history, we can take meaningful steps toward justice and equality.
Whether you're a student, activist, or lifelong learner, The Legacy of Racism provides critical insights into how the past informs the present—and what we can do to build a better future.
