This book actually surprised the dickens out of me. I thought it would be a silly romance novel that I would skim through in a couple of hours and move on to the next book on my stack, but it turns out not only to be a hard-hitting book with some serious research (and connections to other books, like [b:Secret City: A History of Race Relations in the Nation's Capital|2895804|Secret City A History of Race Relations in the Nation's Capital|Constance C. Green|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1387720566s/2895804.jpg|2922196] , [b:Stayed on Freedom's Call: Cooperation Between Jewish And African-American Communities In Washington, DC|21532511|Stayed on Freedom's Call Cooperation Between Jewish And African-American Communities In Washington, DC|Shira Destinie Jones|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1396843051s/21532511.jpg|40860923], and though the book she mentioned, From Holocaust to Segregation, seems not to be available in print, there are some tantalizing references to such a possible publication: https://aaregistry.org/story/jewish-profs-and-hbcus/) even behind it. And, like J.K. Rowling’s Lumos Foundation, this author fights strongly for the rights of children. This book is also a moving story of families and communities like my family of origin, and how we mix and match as we move through society, or some of us, any way, enduring and hopefully eventually changing some of the pre-concieved notions...

Please see my comments (aka updates) as I read the book.
