This is the story of how he rose from dirt-floor beginnings to become the president who held the United States together in its darkest hour. From the courtroom in Springfield to the fields of Gettysburg, from quiet heartbreaks to bold proclamations, Lincoln faced a nation on fire and refused to let it burn to the ground.

That lack of understanding prevents us from addressing the real roots of inequality and from working toward a more balanced and just society. This book will help us dig deeply into our own personal views as it relates to our feelings and views when it comes to racism.
