Book and description:

A Good Time for The Truth- Race in MN
Minnesota communities struggle with some of the nation's worst racial disparities. As its authors
confront and consider the realities that lie beneath the numbers, this book provides an important tool
to those who want to be part of closing those gaps.

In this provocative book, sixteen of Minnesota's best writers provide a range of perspectives on what
it is like to live as a person of color in Minnesota. They give readers a splendid gift: the gift of
touching another human being's inner reality, behind masks and veils and politeness. They bring us
generously into experiences that we must understand if we are to come together in real
relationships.
