In RACE : My Story & Humanity s Bottom Line , respected trainer , keynote speaker and attorney Lauren Joichin Nile describes her personal experiences with racism , the source and beginning of biological race among human beings , the biological oneness of humanity , many tragedies of our racial past , the reality of our racial present and what the human species needs to do to move into a future beyond racism , of empathy and compassion .
" I would love the book to open as many minds and soften as many hearts as is humanly possible for the heightened consciousness and ultimate evolution beyond racism , of the entire human species ," Nile said .
Racism has affected every stage of the author s life . Nile experienced segregation during her childhood in New Orleans , before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , and as an adult , she has been the recipient of many racial indignities . Her stories and those of others are detailed in the book .
" All of my experiences as an African American have inspired me to write this book , those of growing up under segregation as a child , the lessons of love and understanding which the African American adults in my life taught me during that time , experiencing the ways in which the Civil Rights Act of 1964 radically changed the lives of African Americans both emotionally and practically , my experiences of racism as an adult , the profound lessons I have learned as a diversity trainer , and my deep friendships with my European American friends who are conscious , compassionate and true allies ," Nile commented .
In RACE : My Story & Humanity s Bottom Line , Nile offers concrete suggestions for how humanity can indeed take our critical next step beyond racism .
Clarion Review : " RACE , which is both electrified by Nile s personal revelations and bolstered by its careful historicity , stands to make important contributions to extant conversations about race in America .
