Some of My Best Friends Are Black: The Strange Story of Integration in America

Tanner Colby, the author of “Belushi: A Biography” and the New York Times and Los Angeles Times bestseller “The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts,” presents his thoughts on the social, economic, and political factors, which according to him have obstructed integration in America. He chronicles America’s troubling relationship with race through four interrelated stories: the transformation of a once-racist Birmingham school system; a Kansas City neighborhood’s fight against housing discrimination; the curious racial divide of the Madison Avenue ad world; and a Louisiana Catholic parish’s forty-year effort to build an integrated church.
