"The White Peril is searing, honest, vulnerable, profound and undeniable. I loved it. In the distance between Omo’s experience and mine, in the same place, at the same critical age, is the distance perhaps between black and white America. It is that distance that continues to test this country, to bedevil it, to confound it, to force people into all kinds of denial. I believe the way through that distance or perhaps across it are bridges…bridges built with love and truth simultaneously, that connect us. Though they don’t make us the same, they allow us access to one another. Those bridges, if they can be made, look in my mind’s eye precisely like The White Peril.”
