Her latest book does that beautifully, asking tough questions, and patiently, inclusively seeking answers." —Chuck Leddy, Boston Globe<br><br>"Another thoughtful, personal and provocative book that will encourage discussion about many of the difficult issues still surrounding race in America—in and out of the classroom." —Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children's Defense Fund </DIV>
