There’s only one race, The human race. This book contains the extraordinary true story of my journey from the violent streets of South Central Los Angeles to the prison cell of notorious KKK leader Edgar Ray Killen in Mississippi and out again to freedom. It covers the history of race relations in America over the course of more than a half-century, with new and shocking insight provided by my own personal experience and by the remarkable letters written by the hand of Killen himself. Here you’ll find a history that’s not been told anywhere before. It’s a history of hope and hate, desperation, and determination. Most of all, this book is a testament to the human spirit and the core truth of the racial divide: there is only one race, the human race. There is a lot of work still to be done, and we are blessed to have the tools to do it. My group, Racial Reconciliation Outreach Ministries, is filled with partners who are helping me to bring the vision of a unified culture of peace to life.
