Race and Reckoning

In "Race and Reckoning," journalist Ellis Cose explores the evolution of racial discrimination in the United States, tracing its roots from the nation's founding through critical moments like the New Deal and the Covid pandemic. He examines how pivotal decisions have perpetuated systemic inequalities and highlights the role of disinformation in shaping public perception. Through meticulous research, Cose critiques historical narratives that uphold American exceptionalism while often disregarding the experiences of marginalized communities. This thought-provoking work confronts the complexities of American democracy and the ongoing struggle for a genuinely inclusive society.
