But in this illuminating work, Jeffery Robinson uncovers just how deeply anti-Black racism is still woven into the fabric of our nation. White supremacy fueled the country for over a century after the Civil War and is still deeply ingrained in our culture, and racist laws that were banned and deemed unconstitutional have been replaced by more covert ones. Robinson argues that if our country is to change for the better, we must confront this truth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobinson takes us on a dramatic journey through America’s past, from the first group of people captured in Africa and enslaved on American soil to the racist policies and practices still impacting our country today. He argues that anti-Black racism is not just a series of isolated acts but a highly sophisticated system, in which centuries of racial segregation have resulted in flagrant disparities in public school funding, voter turnout, policing, and criminal sentencing. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClear-eyed, explosive, and stirring,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e Who We Are \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a powerful correction of American history that shines a light on our country’s darkest stain, revealing who we are in an effort to heal our country and improve who we become.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-reactive-container a-reactive-container-transition\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-cardui-content\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJEFFERY ROBINSON, J.D.\u003c\/strong\u003e is a graduate of Harvard Law School and has over four decades of experience working on criminal and racial justice issues.
