A sin by any other name : reckoning with racism and the heritage of the South / Robert W. Lee IV. - First edition. - 191 pages ; 20 cm
An activist, pastor, and indirect descendant of Confederate general Robert E. Lee traces his upbringing in the American South with a name associated with the double-sided realities of honor, privilege, inequality, and the misinterpretation of Christian values. After the 2017 Charlottesville protests Lee, a descendant of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, went public with his denunciation of white supremacy. Support-- and threats-- poured in from around the country, and Lee was ousted from the church where he was a pastor. Here he describes his gradual awakening to the unspoken assumptions of white supremacy which had, almost without him knowing it, distorted his values and even his Christian faith. -- adapted from jacket
