Dear White Friend: The Realities Of Race, The Power Of Relationships And Our Path To Equity

My friend, I do not believe you are a racist. Melvin Gravely eloquently accomplishes what many have undoubtedly wished to do: talk openly to someone we know about race in the United States today. Gravely uses significant experience as a business and civic leader to express a rare balance in this timely message. Dear White Friend is a forthright, collegial conversation via chapters in the form of letters, each with a combination of personal reflection, meaningful hard facts, an invitation to understand something previously unknown, and specific solutions for individuals and communities. Gravely challenges the reader but without judgment or indictment. His depth of thought, deftness of expression, and clear, layman's terms make for an urgent call to begin to close the gap between races in America. "What is my role in all of this?" the author asks. Readers will realize their answers can change the future. ?Melvin Gravely, II is an active civic leader and the CEO of one of the largest commercial construction companies in Cincinnati, Ohio.
