In 1963, Attorney General Robert Kennedy sought out James Baldwin to explain the rage that threatened to engulf black America. Baldwin brought along some friends, including playwright Lorraine Hansberry, psychologist Kenneth Clark, and a valiant activist, Jerome Smith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKennedy walked away from the nearly three-hour meeting angry—that the black folk assembled didn't understand politics, and that they weren't as easy to talk to as Martin Luther King. But especially that they were more interested in witness than policy. Kennedy's anger quickly gave way to empathy, especially for Smith. \"I guess if I were in his shoes...I might feel differently about this country.\" Kennedy set about changing policy—the meeting having transformed his thinking in fundamental ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery big argument about race that persists to this day got a hearing in that room. And we grapple still with the responsibility of black intellectuals and artists to bring about social change. \u003cem\u003eWhat Truth Sounds Like\u003c\/em\u003e exists at the tense intersection of the conflict between politics and prophecy—of whether we embrace political resolution or moral redemption to fix our fractured racial landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46193602330860,"sku":"9781250297044","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250297044_319ebe10-c87d-4e6a-a3c9-2753475640ec.jpg?v=1739839310"},{"product_id":"political-correctness-gone-mad-by-michael-eric-dyson-9781786076045","title":"Political Correctness Gone Mad?","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePolitical Correctness Gone Mad?\u003c\/em\u003e explores the contentious debate surrounding political correctness, free speech, and the power dynamics within society.
