Unequal
ByPublisher Description
YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Award Finalist ★ New York Times bestselling author Michael Eric Dyson and critically acclaimed author Marc Favreau show how racial inequality permeates every facet of American society, through the lens of those pushing for meaningful change.
The true story of racial inequality—and resistance to it—is the prologue to our present. You can see it in where we live, where we go to school, where we work, in our laws, and in our leadership. Unequal presents a gripping account of the struggles that shaped America and the insidiousness of racism, and demonstrates how inequality persists. As readers meet some of the many African American people who dared to fight for a more equal future, they will also discover a framework for addressing racial injustice in their own lives.

“Just finished Unequal: A Story of America by Michael Eric Dyson and Marc Favreau — such a powerful and important read. I think everyone should pick this one up, especially those who might not fully understand the experiences people of color have faced in America and still face today.
One line that really stuck with me:
“Ensuring that white supremacy doesn’t succeed will take a movement that understands and builds on our common history… It is up to all of us to study the past, and to marshal and carry forward the freedom dreams of those who have come before us.”
A needed reminder that learning our shared history is part of building a better future.”
