Renowned scholar and New York Times bestselling author Gates delivers a stirring and authoritative companion to the major new PBS documentary America Behind the Color Line. The book includes thought-provoking essays from Colin Powell, Morgan Freeman, Russell Simmons, Vernon Jordan, Alicia Keys, Bernie Mac, and Quincy Jones.

I read this book originally in 2008. I wish I could rave about the content more and more. As a member of the African-American community myself, it is nice to see stereotypes broken down, and see the discrimination described through personal anecdotes and interviews. It is like reading a documentary script. I will always re-read this one, and gift copies to friends.
