In a book that is part reportage, part history, part social commentary, Tanner Colby explores why the civil rights movement ultimately produced such little true integration in schools, neighborhoods, offices, and churches--the very places where social change needed to unfold. Weaving together the personal, intimate stories of everyday people--black and white--Colby reveals the strange, sordid history of what was supposed to be the end of Jim Crow, but turned out to be more of the same with no name. He shows us how far we have come in our journey to leave mistrust and anger behind--and how far all of us have left to go. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tanner Colby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143123637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143123637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Tanner Colby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994812907775,"sku":"9780143123637","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b999dd98-7d3c-4e5a-b4f1-a2b31be77b37.jpg?v=1683332325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/some-of-my-best-friends-tanner-colby-9780143123637","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
