This is an exceptional work. It is brutally honest and entirely sobering. It is impressive and deserves to be celebrated for its merit. 

Sadly, I am all too familiar with the message this book addresses. As an educator, curriculum developer for ES to HS/CL students, and a multicultural studies advocate, I have researched and reviewed the historical documents and perspectives offered up by the few regarding the many. The establishment of hierarchical systems, the "morally sound" justifications and excuses, the righteous narrative to displace and distress those who exist beyond the "superior" - these concepts are not foreign. With that said, I must say that this braiding together of information was remarkable. It is put together so well. By allowing the words, writings, and actions of those, from this nation's forefathers forward, to speak, much is said. 

Not only do I highly recommend this book, but I also applaud anyone who has the courage to read it, receive it, and grow from it.

Thank you, Dr. Ewing. Your work is brilliant and very much appreciated.
