The sum of us

Examines how racism affects people of all ages and all backgrounds in the United States, and discusses ways every American can rethink their attitude toward race and work together to create an equitable and inclusive society. Describes the concept of racial zero-sum, where white Americans believe that bettering the lives of racial minorities comes at their expense, and how it is rooted in America's origin story and demonstrates how freedoms were first conceived in direct relation to the enslavement of Africans.
