It was suggested in a Dec 2008 article that white Americans read some black literature. I had read the classics in black literature. This year I have read: Helene Cooper: The House on Sugar Beach Toni Morrison: Beloved Toni Morrison: A Mercy It was very enlightening. I have also read most of the Obama books. I hope I am a more understanding and compassionate person. My family was very liberal. I always went out of my way to be nice to minorities. Now I do not consider minorities - we are all just people.
