As a skeptic, he wanted concrete answers. And as a White man, he needed to face disturbing truths, including slavery on his ancestors' farm--injustice committed by Chesney men. So he dug through the parallel histories of his family and his nation, uncovering roots of today's racial division across several centuries of inequity in America. Chesney's findings forever changed his perspective on our past, deepened his understanding of our present, and clarified his hopes for our future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWritten as a true story, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eRoots of Division\u003c\/i\u003e journeys quickly through our nation's past, addressing key events that help explain why race remains so divisive today.
