Carefully thought out memoir about how to live one's life ethically, especially but not exclusively in the context of racism in our society. Written by a lawyer/law professor/law school dean, who was very active in the civil rights movement for his entire professional life. I would rate it at 5 stars, except for a chapter with an unnecessary emphasis on Christianity. That chapter reflects the authors faith in Christianity, but is more narrowly based than is warranted.

The author is one of the primary originators of Critical Race Theory-- the actual theory, not the distorted nonsense from the right wing politicians and media. ( )
