About the Author
"Dr. Minor provocatively argues that neither justice nor peace are attainable without equality. Through the construction of a Citizen Equality Model, he challenges readers to think about the meaning of equality across political, social, cultural, legal, and religious spaces and, more significantly, challenges readers to correct for past injustices in the United States while paving the way for a future in which the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness are not empty words. This is an important book that can help us, collectively, answer the question: what does it mean to be a citizen in the United States today."
