The book Under Our Skin by Benjamin Watson was challenging, convicting, and enlightening. The subtitle is “getting real about race – and getting free from the fears and frustrations that divide us.” The book is organized around a Facebook post Benjamin wrote in the wake of the decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri (see FB post here). I recommend you reading the book and you will have different reactions based on your experiences and upbringing. I found Benjamin to have the ability to talk bluntly about a tense subject in a very understandable and enlightening way. You can get the book here.
