The prompt seemed simple: Race. Your Story. Six Words. Please Send. The answers, though, have been challenging and complicated. In the twelve years since award-winning journalist Michele Norris first posed that question, over half a million people have submitted their stories to The Race Card Project inbox. The stories are shocking in their depth and candor, spanning the full spectrum of race, ethnicity, identity, and class. Even at just six words, the micro-essays can pack quite a punch, revealing, fear, pain, triumph, and sometimes humor.

How the painful reality of my 78 years of life has been exposed
Revisado: 02-04-24
This was one of the most inspiring reviews of the troubled past I grew up in and a sad reminder of the truth of Michelle’s concluding 6 words yet I feel solace knowing my children and grandchildren are making their mark in helping overcome the ugly racism I have witnessed. Thank you Michelle!

The New York Times Magazine’s award-winning “1619 Project” issue reframed our understanding of American history by placing slavery and its continuing legacy at the center of our national narrative. This new book substantially expands on that work, weaving together 18 essays that explore the legacy of slavery in present-day America with 36 poems and works of fiction that illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle, and resistance.

Essential history
Revisado: 01-14-22
This is one of the most important history books that I have ever read because it connects the dots of my life of over 70 years, part of which was growing up in the South, and broadened my understanding of the privileged road that I have traveled as an American of European descent.

Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her - but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known. So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North.

For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

Unvarnished US history never taught in schools
Revisado: 12-12-18
This book has allowed me to view US history in a way that I would hope more could view -the unvarnished truth about the embarrassing ignorance we shroud ourselves in to preserve the myths and lies the privileged “must” perpetuate.

In the most ambitious one-volume American history in decades, award-winning historian Jill Lepore offers a magisterial account of the origins and rise of a divided nation. In riveting prose, These Truths tells the story of America, beginning in 1492, to ask whether the course of events has proven the nation's founding truths or belied them.

National leader Stacey Abrams has written the guide to harnessing the strengths of being an outsider and succeeding anyway. Leadership is hard. Convincing others - and yourself - that you are capable of taking charge and achieving more requires insight and courage. Lead from the Outside is the handbook for outsiders, written with an eye toward the challenges that hinder women, people of color, the working class, members of the LGBTQ community, and millennials ready to make change.

Sound advice for aspiring minority leaders

The determination of Stacey Abrams to overcome daunting obstacles and challenges was inspirational.
Which character – as performed by Stacey Abrams – was your favorite?
n/a
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes - I completed it in 24 hours.
Any additional comments?
The author not only offerers sound advice on avenues and choices that an aspiring minority leader can take to fulfill a set of ambitions but it is a wonderful glimpse at the tenacity and determination that underpins her success. She reveals numerous career challenges experienced in her varied leadership roles and imparts valuable wisdom that serves as an inspiration to young and old alike. “Stacey’s Ambition Spreadsheet” is evidence of how others can benefit from that wisdom.
