Review: Understanding the reality of racism in America, January 30, 2009 By Michael P. Rabbitt – See All Reviews. This book is a gripping “must read” for understanding the truth about racism in America. Tim Wise clearly and accurately articulates why America is not post-racial, despite the election of the first black President in U.S. history. He offers an excellent perspective on the 2008 presidential election campaign, the Rev. Wright controversy, New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and much more on America’s long and sordid history of racial oppression and injustice. Wise connects us with the real world experiences of African Americans, while integrating indisputable facts and data, including the overwhelming evidence of existing racial disparities in education, employment, housing, health care, wealth, and the criminal justice system. Wise’s paradigm of Racism 1.0 and the modern version – Racism 2.0 – is brilliant. The author finishes with a strong call for white responsibility to oppose and eradicate racism, in partnership with people of color. Michael Rabbitt |

The Wall of Tolerance is a public tribute to thousands of Center supporters and others who have advanced the cause of tolerance in America. It is a prominent feature of the Civil Rights Memorial Center in Montgomery, Alabama. Names are digitally projected onto a curved 20-by-40-foot surface and “rain” down like the water that flows over the Civil Rights Memorial. The Wall and Memorial are in the heart of civil rights history. The spot where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat is nearby and Dr. Martin Luther King’s Dexter Avenue pulpit is around the corner. Thousands visit these civil rights sites every year.
