Description
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."> "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."

Terrence J. Roberts is one of the "Little Rock Nine" who integrated Little Rock Central High School when President Eisenhower called out the 81st Airborne Division of the US Army to protect him and eight other black students as they exercised their constitutional right to attend the smae public high school as white students. Roberts later earned a Ph.D. in Psychology (Southern IL University), and taught in California universities until he became a dean at California State University. He has also maintained a clinical practice in psychology for many years. Now he heads a management consulting firm that counsels institutions and corporations on race relations and other matters. Dr. Roberts is a much sought-after public speaker, making fifty or more public addresses each year to audiences nationwide.
