Title: Subtle Racisim
Review: Having lived in the south for all of my almost 50 years, I will say that I Mrs. Green really captured the era. The town I lived in was somewhat larger but not much. Our schools were integrated and for the most part we all got along fine. I went to my 30 year high school reunion in 2010 that had a turn out of almost 70 classmates (plus spouses). We planned for a year and called everyone we knew but only 10 white students came. We had a blast anyway!So I ask how much has really changed? All of my white friends said they would come, but something came up and they couldn't make it. The part of the book that really nailed it for me was when the lady was walking down the street with the little boy that was helping her around the house. A man on the street called the boy out for walking on the sidewalk and the lady told the man it was 'ok, he's with me'. Both kinds of racism...overt and subtle. That, to me, is the best description where we still are today. Great book!
