Long time coming : reckoning with race in America

Summary: "Grapples with the cultural and social forces that have shaped our nation in the brutal crucible of race in five ... chapters--each addressed to a black martyr, from Breonna Taylor to Rev. Clementa Pinckney. Dyson traces the genealogy of anti-blackness from the slave ship to the street corner where [George] Floyd lost his life--and where America gained its will to confront the ugly truth of systemic racism."--Provided by publisher.
