|”When I decided that this season we were going to focus on race. I was really determined to put this piece in front of people because I think that one of the problems that we have as Americans is we have difficulty talking about race because we’re not willing to talk about it honestly and openly. And we need to talk about it.” Quote by Donald Byrd.
