    “One of the nation’s most prominent civil rights leaders” (Washington Post), a New York Times bestselling author, community organizer, investigative journalist, Ivy League professor, and former head of the NAACP, Ben Jealous draws from a life lived on America’s racial fault line to deliver a series of gripping and lively parables that call on each of us to reconcile, heal, and work fearlessly to make America one nation. 
    Never Forget Our People Were Always Free illuminates for each of us how the path to healing America’s broken heart starts with each of us having the courage to heal our own.The son of parents who had to leave Maryland because their cross-racial marriage was illegal, Ben Jealous’ lively, courageous and empathetic storytelling calls on every American to look past deeply-cut divisions and recognize we are all in the same boat now. Along the way Jealous grapples with hidden American mysteries, including:Why do white men die from suicide more often than black men die from murder?How did racial profiling kill an American president?What happens when a Ku Klux Klansman wrestles with what Jesus actually said? How did Dave Chappelle know the DC Snipers were Black? Why shouldn't the civil rights movement give up on rednecks?When is what we have collectively forgotten about race more important than what we actually know?What do the most indecipherable things our elders say tell us about ourselves? 
     Told as a series of parables, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free features intimate glimpses of political, and faith leaders as different as Jack Kemp, Stacey Abrams, and the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and heroes as unlikely as a retired constable, a female pirate from Madagascar, a long lost Irishman, a death row inmate, and a man with a confederate flag over his heart. 
    More than anything, Never Forget Our People Were Always Free offers readers hope America’s oldest wounds can heal and her oldest divisions be overcome.

    Every life has trials. I just never thought mine would lead me to be the victim of an actual trial—a murder trial. Almost two years after that gun sounded, there we were hearing every detail of how he died over, and over, and over again. I had waited so long for the trial to be the pinnacle of my healing. I just knew deep down it would be the moment of peace I had longed for—but as that judge stood to announce the verdict, the emotions that followed were not any I could have ever planned. Truth is . . . nobody ever plans to be a victim. Ashlee shares intimate parts of her healing journey in her 3rd book, The Moments We Stand: In Chains. A murder trial, an interview with Keith Morrison, and sitting across from the secret mistress on the Dr. Phil show. Little did she know those moments were just the beginning of a long journey to finding freedom from the chains.
