Race

In this timely and significant Bookcassette, Studs Terkel interweaves the experiences and opinions of a variety of people - blacks and whites, men and women - from all walks of life. As one of our greatest interviewers, he encourages people to speak their minds with great frankness about the subject of race and about their perceptions of the leadership in Washington. Nearly a hundred Americans talk openly about attitudes that few are willing to admit in public.

While the problems of race have existed since the first slave ship landed in colonial America, it is compelling to be reminded that we still have two separate and unequal societies in this country.
