About the Book

Almost Hereditary is one person's story of overcoming the racism that was passed down in his family from generation to generation. It is a story of transformation that offers hope to others who want to see less prejudice in the world around them. As well as sharing the history of his family and his own biography, the author addresses causes of prejudice and offers specific steps to overcome prejudice in oneself and society. The book includes excerpts from diaries of the author's great-great-grandmother, whose family owned slave plantations, quotes from slaves' stories, and photographs. Advice for student groups that want to diminish prejudice on high school and college campuses and discussion questions for classes and book clubs are included.
About the Author: Bill Drake's ancestors include three generations of slave plantation owners and a Confederate Civil War hero who, as a Mississippi state senator, helped create the Jim Crow era, during which Southern blacks were systematically oppressed. Drake grew up in the segregated world of the South, believing in the racial superiority of white people, and at times harassing black people. During his seventeenth year he had an experience that caused his racist beliefs to unravel. In his adult years he has written articles and produced radio programs supporting racial equality. He works with two colleagues to help students unlearn prejudice. More information can be found on his website: www.healracism.com
