The Debt: What America Owes to Blacks by Randall Robinson

The history between America and Africans is undeniably full of tension. In this book, Randall Robinson dissects the core of this tension and asks the question, “What does America owe to Blacks?” In answering this question, a number of subjects are brought to surface, ranging from reparations for slavery, the proportion of blacks to whites who are being jailed, unequal education, and poverty among blacks. This book is more than about whites and blacks, it is about what ‘America’ (whites, blacks, and all in between) can do to right the wrong of the past that continues to be a burden among society today. It becomes obvious that Randall thoroughly researches his subject before he writes, which makes him reliable and makes for a very interesting and educational book. Though a little boring at times, this is a real eye-opening and mind opening read. I would recommend this book to all.
