Additional Praise for
THE BLACK AND THE BLUE
“I have called on Matthew Horace as an expert so many times I can’t count them. He offers insight like no other. This book is a must-read!”
—Nancy Grace
“The Black and the Blue is a necessary testimony from behind the blue wall of secrecy and silence that affirms the racist underpinnings and often deadly consequences of African-American contact with law enforcement. This is an urgent conversation needed at every level in the criminal justice system…. Racism and white supremacy, the elephant in America’s living room, running rampant through many police departments and courts, must be acknowledged, unpacked, and eradicated if America is ever going to live up her democratic ideals. This book is a step in the right direction toward truth and reconciliation.”
—Liza Jessie Peterson, author of All Day: A Year of Love and Survival Teaching Incarcerated Kids at Rikers Island
“Matthew Horace’s fabulous book has enlightened me to understand that many African-American officers are treated as unjustly as I am as a black man. The Black and the Blue is a powerful and courageous truth telling, and a must-read for all of us who want criminal justice change—and not reform. The Black and the Blue is a clear statement of how white supremacy controls what is believed to be justice in America.”
—Flores A. Forbes, American Book Award–winning author of Invisible Men and Will You Die with Me?
“Matthew Horace provides a no-holds-barred, insider’s account of the conscious, unconscious, and institutional racism that continues to be a cancer in many police departments, resulting in explosive incidents [and] the deaths of both innocent citizens and law enforcement officers alike. [Horace] offers our police officers a better and smarter way to protect and serve all of our citizens, regardless of race, creed, or color.”
—Jeffrey Gardere, Ph.D., best known as “America’s Psychologist” on Good Morning America and The Real Housewives of Atlanta
“Horace has done an excellent job of weaving together his personal experiences as a law enforcement officer [and] the experiences of African-Americans with the police…. This book should be read by police officers and used in criminal justice courses.”
—Elsie L. Scott, Ph.D., director of the Ronald W. Walters Leadership and Public Policy Center, Howard University
“We love [Matt Horace] because he brings a strong point of view.”
—Chris Cuomo
“Every police officer, attorney, and civilian in America should read The Black and the Blue. There are lessons for us all… knowledgeable, passionate, instructive, and necessary.”
—Joey Jackson, CNN legal analyst
