Reduced to Equality examines the life experiences and perspectives of one White sociologist who was born in the mountains of Kentucky, raised in a changing neighborhood in northern Illinois, gave birth to a bi-racial daughter, and eventually discovered that her ancestors were committed slave-holders. Coming to grips with her new and unexpected discovery, Hensley, with the help of her daughter, realizes that, ultimately, White people will have to do more than apologize for our shared past and present in order to ensure our future survival as a nation. Hensley's seven-decade journey to better understand what she calls the socially-constructed, political notion of race has taken her into prisons, universities, and even confrontations with the Ku Klux Klan. In Reduced to Equality, she lays bear her own personal vulnerability in an effort to help bridge the chasm between Black people and White people in America.
