What Truth Sounds Like by Michael Eric Dyson

Robert F. Kennedy, James Baldwin, and Our Unfinished Conversation About Race in America

Juxtaposing the voices of a Black intellectual and a white political figure, this work listens to their speeches and reflections to interrogate America’s long, unfinished conversation about race; blending historical context, cultural criticism, and personal urgency, it exposes white denial and the shortcomings of liberal politics, insists on empathetic listening and moral courage, and urges readers to confront uncomfortable truths and pursue transformative action for racial justice and democratic renewal.
