Letters in Black and White

"Finally, we can hear Wink and Jen--two voices of sanity--in this whirlwind of racial polarization and victimology. White privilege, systemic racism, and the woke teach our children an ideology of despair, helplessness, and wanhope. But black history is truly heroic, a trajectory of hope and achievement, overcoming against all odds. This is the great lesson for our future together. A must read for all Americans." --Martin E. P. Seligman, PhD, Zellerbach Family Professor of Psychology in the University of Pennsylvania's Department of Psychology

"As a social psychologist, I find Letters in Black and White to be a hallmark book on dissidence in our conforming times. It reminds us of the dangers of 'groupthink' as well as the redeeming quality of individual dignity. Until now, I've never thought of Old Americans as a viable way through the thicket of race. Read this book for clear and comprehensive writing on the timeless truths that respect neither race nor skin color." --Phil Zimbardo, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Stanford University and President and Founder of the Heroic Imagination Project

"Letters in Black and White is a real-world example of that mythical beast we keep hearing is all-fired important to encounter: a 'conversation about race.' . . . The book aims to start a national conversation about serious topics, across individuals of all backgrounds, that will NOT center on slogans, manipulation, or bullying--and it just might succeed." --Wilfred Reilly, PhD, Associate Professor at Kentucky State University and author of Hate Crime Hoax and Taboo

"[A] conversation about race, and any work that needs to be done, is useless if only black voices can be heard. If DEI consultants and school administrators genuinely want to advance race relations, they must use Letters in Black and White in all of their programs." --Charles Love, Executive Director of Seeking Educational Excellence and author of Race Crazy
