 LEAD TITLE/Our  National Conversation Series

"Terrence Roberts is in the truest sense an upstander - an individual whose voice and actions compel us to explore difficult topics and challenge us to face our shared history, honestly. His words and reflections celebrate the notion of difference, model socially responsible behavior and promote tolerance in our daily lives. Reading this book, you will be inspired, in Dr. Roberts's words, to 'think  beyond the ordinary."
----Margot  Stern Strom, Executive  Director, Facing History and Ourselves, Inc.

"Terrence  Roberts  challenges  all of  us to make the world  more inclusive  by adjusting  our 'mental maps.'  He reminds  us that we will not achieve that long-sought  beloved  community  until we  recognize   the  value  of  each  individual-until  we  affirm  each  other.  Simple,  NotEasy is one trailblazer's  mingling  of  history  and  contemporary  mattersto engage a new conversations on community, social responsibility and tolerance. A powerful  book  by  a civil rights  legend."
--- Lawrence J. Pijeaux, Jr., Ed.D.,
