White supremacy and its troubling endurance in American life is debated in these personal essays by two veteran political activists. Arguing that white supremacy has been the dominant political system in the United States since its earliest days--and that it is still very much with us--the discussion points to unexamined bigotry in the criminal justice system, election processes, war policy, and education. The book draws upon the authors' own confrontations with authorities during the Vietnam era, reasserts their belief that racism and war are interwoven issues, and offers personal stories about their lives today as parents, teachers, and reformers.

@samhaselby @BrockHearthsto1 The big thing that Bill Ayers did was help to change teacher training and education. Many of his ideas are being rolled out at scale to K-12 students. The revolt against white supremacy and sexual normativity has been institutionalized. Don't count them out.
