Open Season
Genocide—the intent to destroy in whole or in part, a group of people. TIME's 42 Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2019 Book Riot's 50 of the Best Books to Read This Fall As seen on CBS This Morning, award-winning attorney Ben Crump exposes a heinous truth in Open Season: Whether with a bullet or a lengthy prison sentence, America is killing black people and justifying it legally. While some deaths make headlines, most are personal tragedies suffered within families and communities. Worse, these killings are done one person at a time, so as not to raise alarm. While it is much more difficult to justify killing many people at once, in dramatic fashion, the result is the same—genocide. Taking...
Suspicion Nation
Many thought the election of our first African American president put an end to the conversation about race in this country, and that America had moved into a post–racial era of equality and opportunity. Then, on the night of February 26, 2012, a black seventeen–year–old boy walking to a friend's home carrying only his cell phone, candy, and a fruit drink, was shot and killed by a neighborhood watch coordinator. And in July 2013, the trial of Zimmerman for murder captivated the public, as did his eventual acquittal. In her provocative and landmark book, Suspicion Nation, Lisa Bloom, who covered the trial from gavel to gavel, posits that none of this was a surprise: Our laws, culture, a...

By examining Trayvon's 750-page cell phone records, Gilbert discovers that the key witness for the prosecution of George Zimmerman, the plus-sized 18-year-old Rachel Jeantel, was a fraud.

Gilbert's painstaking research take...

Shattered Dream: Race and Justice
The author looks at race and justice in the American context, including mistreatment of black people by the police. He contends that although race is quite often a factor in such mistreatment, there are black police officers who also mistreat fellow blacks. He states that it is an aspect of the problem that is often ignored or deliberately overlooked because of the prevalence of racism in the American society, shielding black police officers from criticism as if they do nothing wrong to fellow blacks and as if it is only white officers who mistreat black people and other non-whites. He looks at the the case of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee – that's just one example – where a black m...
The Antidote
Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson explains that this noxious, blaming mind-set has destroyed the black family, magnified racial tensions, pitted women against men, and quashed a sense of paternal responsibility—which in essence has killed the soul of the black community. For a half-century or more, black people have labored under the spell of what Jesse Lee Peterson calls the "alchemists." These are the race hustlers, media hacks, politicians, community organizers, and the like who promise to "fundamentally transform" America. The transformation they promise, however, produces only fool's gold—unearned benefits like welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing, payouts from lawsuits, and maybe one...
