I grew up in the 60s and 70s.  We would all like to believe that stereotypes and racism is so much better now, and, yes, things are better.  But, some of the nuances and  subtleties of racism still pervade the United States.  Also, it does shine a light on injustice and is a reminder to learn from our past; it is still relevant. Today, when surveyed and questioned to indicate my race, I check "other" since I refuse to be classified by my skin. So, loved this book and its message.
