While many books explore racial issues in America it is rare to hear from a business leader on this topic. “I admit to still being uncomfortable talking to you about race,” Gravely writes in the book. “My indoctrination taught me to ignore the subject and its implications—to just keep moving. For forty-five years, I did just that. But today I feel compelled to engage you in this conversation. The problems created by our inability to talk about race transcend you and me. We cannot solve problems in silos or in denial or in anger. Yet, we can solve them together.”
