Twelve Angry Men by Gregory Parks
True stories of racial profiling in America, which reveals some pointed truths about the nation, as twelve eloquent authors from across the United States tell their personal stories of being racially profiled. Joe Morgan, a former Major League Baseball MVP, who was falsely arrested at LAX; Paul Butler, a federal prosecutor who was detained while walking in his own neighbourhood and King Downing, former head of the ACLU's racial profiling initiative, who was pursued by National Guardsmen after arriving at Boston airport. A narrative of a different America appears.
