Tears we cannot stop

In 'Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America,' Michael Eric Dyson delivers a hard-hitting sermon on the racial divide, directed specifically to a white audience.

The book grapples with the social construct of 'whiteness' and challenges readers to face difficult truths about how black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.

Dyson argues that real racial progress requires honesty about the past, recognition of the present, and collective action to redeem the nation's future.

The book is praised for its emotional, literary, and powerful narrative, drawing from Dyson's personal experiences and cultural analysis.
