The Ugly Color of Race Continues

The Ugly Color of Race Continues is a bold, unflinching examination of race, justice, history, and power in America. In this powerful continuation of his earlier work, Dr. Booker T. Williams, Jr. challenges readers to confront the painful truths that continue to shape the nation-from slavery, segregation, and white privilege to modern political division, police brutality, voting rights, gun violence, Critical Race Theory, MAGA politics, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and the January 6th insurrection.

Written with the urgency of a veteran, educator, father, and Black man who has witnessed America's contradictions firsthand, this book asks a question that echoes through every chapter: When will America finally get it? Dr. Williams does not write to create hatred or condemn people because of the color of their skin. He writes to expose destructive ideologies, challenge denial, and call the nation toward truth, accountability, and healing.

Through historical reflection, personal experience, social commentary, and moral conviction, The Ugly Color of Race Continues reminds readers that racism is not only a matter of the past. It remains alive in systems, policies, public attitudes, political movements, community violence, and the stories America chooses to tell-or hide. The book also turns inward, urging Black communities to value Black lives, rebuild unity, protect young people, and reject the cycles of trauma that continue to harm families and neighborhoods.

This is not a comfortable book, but it is a necessary one. Whether readers agree with every position or find themselves challenged by its message, Dr. Williams invites them to think deeply, listen honestly, and examine America with courage. The future of the nation depends on whether we are willing to face the truth, protect human dignity, and build a country where justice is not reserved for some, but extended to all.

The conversation is not over. It continues.
