The Only One In The Room: A Lifetime of Observations on Race
The Only One in the Room is a serious treatment on the subject of race in America, exploring why the problems persist, and what Christ-followers must do to help our nation heal.
Throughout his life, especially while working as a high-profile professional in the Midwest, author Milton Thompson was often the only African American in his circles. A minister and educator, he uses the backdrop of his personal journey to skillfully and knowledgeably assess where we’ve been as a nation, and where we are now.
 
The Only One in the Room crosses several literary genres, and offers readers ~
  • The moving story of a remarkable African American family
  • Provocative social and political commentary
  • An intimate look at an enduring love story
  • Biblical hope and inspiration  
 
Thompson says he’s become more reflective about race as he’s gotten older. He possesses a seasoned, gracious, and godly perspective, which is just what we need right now.
