Within these pages, the authors disclose a profound narrative history lesson as they trace the historical route leading to America's current racialized state. Jarvis and Chris address the vital issues that separate the races without name-dropping or calling-out individuals which is a classy plausible approach to racial reconciliation. However, they do not deny the demoralizing demeaning, and damaging effects of racism but take a different approach. Some protest, but The Art of restoring Relationships create proactive partnerships that have exponential results. They advocate their White/Black Think Tank as a prelude step for building unity around the issues that divide homogeneous groups before engaging racial reconciliation with other ethnicities.
