Democracy in Black

Democracy in Black, written by Eddie S. Glaude, Jr (Princeton Scholar) is an extremely eye-opening read. Not only does he adequately explain the value gap among women and men, but he also shows with stats and historical references how African-Americans have been consistently oppressed by our government, both the conservatives and the Democrats. He leaves no stone unturned in his thorough research. Glaude profiles how the home foreclosure crisis impacted African-Americans especially. He calls it like it is throughout the book and is a must read for anyone who doesn't understand how racism still impacts our everyday culture.
