Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we have difficulty having meaningful conversations about race? Cleo Scott Brown has always been fascinated by stories from history, but it was not until she was an adult that she realized that these stories were filled with lessons for today, or as her Dad might say, stories that might make you learn something by accident. While speaking on race with many types of audiences with her first book, Witness to the Truth, Cleo discovered recurring questions, issues, misinformation, and attitudes about race that regularly derailed meaningful discussions. Raceology 101 addresses and illuminates fundamental issues that impede progress in race relations today using stories along with insight from the past. While Raceology 101 focuses primarily on divisions between black and white Americans, the oldest and most ingrained in law, it does address other divisions, and its lessons are applicable in any environment where people are treated differently based on color, culture, or economic class. Raceology 101 represents a storehouse of wisdom for a generation now being forced to confront America's past and its continued impact on America's future. It is only in confronting and understanding the past that today's problems can be solved.
