Racism is America's original sin, and we still struggle to understand it. Throughout more than one hundred issues, This Land magazine published on topics spanning from the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 to the ongoing struggle of black descendants of Cherokee Freedmen. The Race Reader anthologizes our most essential and courageous work on the subject. This collection illuminates the devastating historical, cultural, and personal toll that racism takes from society. And it offers the hope that through understanding, reconciliation is possible.
