The Colored Waiting Room - by Kevin Shird & Nelson Malden (Paperback)

The Colored Waiting Room is a groundbreaking book that explores the lessons of the past to effect lasting change in the present.

Through extraordinary conversations between a confidant of Martin Luther King Jr.

and a modern-day activist, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the second-wave civil rights movement and the urgent actions necessary for racial equality and change.

The book sheds light on the lost connection between African American youth and their ancestors' fight against slavery and Jim Crow laws, and raises profound questions about whether blacks are still in a colored waiting room, biding their time and waiting for racial equality to be the norm.

With a foreword by Wes Moore, CEO of Robin Hood Foundation and New York Times best-selling author, this book is an important reminder of Dr.

King's lessons and a call to action for readers to embrace the lessons of the past to effect lasting change.
