My First White Friend by Patricia Raybon

My First White Friend by Patricia Raybon

Renowned African American journalist Patricia Raybon comes face-to-face with her own race-driven instincts and past in this powerful book that is part journal, part memoir, part social commentary. In a brave and elegant narrative that owes much to the spirit of its potent message, My First White Friend invites readers of all races to explore the hard road from hatred to forgiveness, trust, love, letting go--and moving on.
