Summary:
"In her first book, The Presidency in
Black
and
White
, journalist April Ryan examined
race
in America through her experience as a
White
House reporter. In this book, she shifts the conversation from the
White
House to every home in America. At Mama's Knee looks at
race
and
race
relations through the lessons that
mothers
transmit to their children. As a single African American mother in Baltimore, Ryan has struggled with each gut wrenching,
race
related news story to find the words to convey the right lessons to her daughters. To better understand how
mothers
transfer to their children wisdom on
race
and
race
relations, she reached out to other mothers--prominent political leaders, civil rights activists, celebrities, and those whose lives have been impacted by prominent
race
related events. At a time when Americans still struggle to address racial division and prejudice, their stories reminds us that attitudes change from one generation to the next and one child at a time."--Publisher.
