One of the barriers to overcoming the racial divide that persists in contemporary times is the pervasive belief among many in society that, yes, there was racial injustice in the past, but that was long ago, and therefore they have no responsibility for, or role in, any remedies for that injustice today. This book seeks to give individuals a fact-based foundation--an overview, not an encyclopedia. Furthermore, to create a more civilized society we need to deal with controversial historic events and figures. As an example, the book includes a short chapter that addresses attempts to honor Confederate leaders. Oliver W. Hill suggested that we attempt to do our part to nourish a renaissance (a moral revival!) in human relationships so that human earthlings (people living on the planet earth) can live through this century in a more peaceful and joyous manner. In sum, this book seeks truth and reconciliation through learning to love your neighbor as yourself. In this way, we can fulfill the late Oliver Hill's vision as well as that of other Freedom Fighters.
