      abstract = {"In her first book, The Presidency in Black and White,  journalist April Ryan examined race in America through her  experience as a White House reporter. In this book, she  shifts the conversation from the White House to every home  in America. At Mama's Knee looks at race and race relations  through the lessons that mothers transmit to their  children. As a single African American mother in Baltimore,  Ryan has struggled with each gut wrenching, race related  news story to find the words to convey the right lessons to  her daughters. To better understand how mothers transfer to  their children wisdom on race and race relations, she  reached out to other mothers--prominent political leaders  like Hillary Clinton and Valerie Jarrett, celebrities like  Cindy Williams, and others like Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon  Martin's mother, whose lives have been impacted by  prominent race related events. At a time when Americans  still struggle to address racial division and prejudice,  their stories remind us that attitudes change from one  generation to the next and one child at a  time."--Publisher's description},
