(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 197-213).

In this honest and welcoming book, diversity and inclusion expert, professor, and award-winning speaker Dr. Omekongo Dibinga argues that we must embark on a massive undertaking to re-educate ourselves on the stereotypes that have proven harmful, and too often deadly, to the Black community. This guide breaks down some of the most powerful lies told about Black people, lies that continue to undermine Black people in not only America but also our global society. Beyond combatting these harmful lies, Dr. Dibinga also profices readers with powerful insights on race, original poetry, personal stories, interviews from everyday people, and reflective hands-on exercises that will allow readers to confront and change their own biases, as well as an honest discussion about how to move beyond misplaced shame and use our privilege to serve others.
