"Deftly performs the long overdue and crucially needed task of calling out President Reagan and the conservative movement's abysmal stance on race. Lucks tears the mask off Reagan's sunny disposition to reveal his racially reactionary policies and rhetoric, as well as his commitment to roll back the gains of the civil rights era. . . . Fills a gap in our national understanding of how white supremacy remains embedded in our laws and policies and how Reagan's racism left a powerful legacy for Donald Trump."--Mary Frances Berry, member and chair, US Commission on Civil Rights, 1980-2004
