Description
Why do so many black students - even those from middle-class backgrounds - still perform badly in school John McWhorter comes to the conclusion that racism's ugliest legacy is the disease of defeatism that has affected black America like a virus. He offers solutions for eradicating the epidemic and healing the community.
