Just received a copy of Reckoning With Race: America's Failure by Gene Dattel, which confronts America's most intractable problem—race. The book outlines in a provocative, novel manner American racial issues from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present. It explodes myths about the South as America's exclusive racial scapegoat. The book moves to the Great Migration north and the urban ghettos which still plague America.
As a photographer of historical markers the author asked permission to utilize two of my markers he had seen on the website HMdb.org. I provided him the photos and the book was published in September, 2017.
