Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Pie:
Conversations with My White Friends About Race
"
I have seen Dr. Lewis lead a large cohort through a deep human relations experience, participated in his Brave Conversations Facilitator Training series, heard him interview nationally known authors and then traveled through the heart of the Alabama Civil Right Trail with him. Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Pie masterfully captures his inclusive approach to equity by combining short history lessons and the voices of others while sharing his own personal journey. The resulting message is powerful.
