Julia Taylor asked Roberta Grimes:

Hi Roberta, I just finished reading The Fun of Living Together and am now reading The Fun of Growing Forever. I heard this article on NPR on how hate has been transforming in Rwanda with this soap opera series. I wondered if such a thing might work here in the US with our racial divide. There have been some very authentic soap opera series such as Silicon Valley that affect people's conciousness. How can I send?

Roberta Grimes Hello Julia! I'm afraid that the actual roots of our racial problems go back for more than two centuries, and the only way we ever can truly and permanently heal our racial divide is to go back to its sources and heal it there. All the attempts we have made in modern times to address what are actually just symptoms of much deeper issues have availed us little, and some have actually made our racial problems worse! But the good news is that our divide can indeed be healed altogether, and there are foundations now that are setting about beginning to do it right. A very much better future is dawning!
