Ruth needs to get back to Ganton, Indiana. You have to understand and thank those that helped you get out and promise to pay it forward for the next generations. You need to have grace, honesty, respect, compassion. Even when it looks like you have partially broken the cycle, you haven’t done it alone. And right close by we meet a young Black couple that is really making it - highly educated, great 6-figure incomes, growth opportunities (at least for one), the world at their fingertips.īut, guess what? It’s never that easy. We have overcome the original American sin. “The Kindest Lie” starts out with the election of Barack Obama - a Black President. There is a multitude of myths used to accept multi-generational oppression: 1) America is the Land of Opportunity, a Meritocracy. “The Kindest Lie” by Nancy Johnson, a debut effort by a keen, experienced observer of human nature, is a strong addition to our challenge. But it is through fiction that many readers find their essence and passion. There has been a plethora of non-fiction literature shooting to the top of the best seller lists during 2020.
Black Lives Matter! The past months and years have convinced a majority of Americans that it is true and it matters for our survival.
