Graphic: Hate crime, Racism, Slavery, Torture, Police brutality, Medical trauma, and Murder
The book delves unflinchingly into the history of the caste system in the US, from slavery to present day, and much of the content is difficult. The chapter on lynching (chapter 9, The Evil of Silence) is particularly graphic and distressing.
