Racism

“John Lovchik chronicles his journey as a white man seeking understanding of racism and his role in it with conviction and clarity. He acknowledges those who mentored and inspired him from the beginning. This is not always done. Now his task is to reach out to those beyond his comfort zone, which he also acknowledges. How do you organize those who don't share his truth and are even reluctant to learn about it—white people in denial or those who have been lulled into a sort of racial stupor? He knows this will not be easy. Read this book and then write your own.”

“John Lovchik provides an impressive historical overview of the devastating process of racism in the United States. Lovchik weaves history with an urgent call to take action. This is an accessible and powerful book about our collective, ongoing task of dismantling white supremacy. White folks will want to share this book with friends and family.”
