“Steve Phillips situates our present crisis exactly where it belongs—within the long, unfinished struggle to make real the promise that all are created equal. . . . He reminds us that backlash is not new, but neither is resistance.”
—Anna Malaika Tubbs, New York Times bestselling author of Erased and The Three Mothers
