I read the first in this series just long enough ago to have forgotten most of it, and the second has horrified me so much that I clearly have to go out and read more history, because if I knew more of it I wouldn't have been so surprised at the depths that some people will sink to in order to enforce their prejudice. Granted, this all took place in a country not my own, and before I was born at that. If ignorance is bliss, however, it is not really excusable when it comes to something so important as civil rights.

Must read better.
