One day as a child at about 4 years of age, I uttered to my mother as she bathed me, "Be sure to wash me clean, mom." She responded, "But I always wash you clean." I quickly replied, "No, Mom, wash me clean like the kids on the Sound of Music" . This startled my mother at first, but then she immediately knew what was going on. Were you surprised at the racial divide in America when the verdict of the George Zimmerman trial was read? Did you think we had evolved past this point in the country's history? After all, don't we have a black president? Well, the truth is, race still matters, and it always will. In his book, We are All The Truth about Cultural Bias, Dr. Allen Lewis offers a personal, theoretical, historical, data-driven, and solution-focused, yet brief discussion of race. There are no indictments, there is no blame, but he lays out the truth about race and cultural bias in America today.
