As a black student in a mostly white high school, Frederick Joseph grew accustomed to racial comments, even if they weren’t intended to offend. As an adult, he realized those incidents could have been teachable moments. In The Black Friend, Joseph recounts his experiences and offers advice for people who want to be better about race. Each chapter features an interview with an artist or activist, including sports journalist Jemele Hill and author Angie Thomas.
