It took me awhile to get through this, mostly because I‘m not usually one for nonfiction. Tanner Colby, a white man, started this book because he asked himself “Why don‘t I have any black friends?” He investigates and addresses stories of segregation and integration in schools, housing, advertising, and churches. There was a lot I learned from this book - like how there are so many facets to these issues, and how integration still struggles today.
An entertaining and accessible study of how schools, neighborhoods, workplaces and churches remain largely segregated in the US. (Spoiler alert: it's not by accident.) The chapter on racist real estate practices is especially good.
