Inspired by the realization that he had no black friends as he celebrated President Obama's historic victory in 2008, author Tanner Colby
(Belushi: A Biography, The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts) set out to learn the history of integration in the United States. The result is this often humorous, fascinating book that examines the long and short term effects of the civil rights legislation of the 1960s which legally ended American apartheid. The book focuses on four main areas: education, real estate, employment, and religion. An important read.
