 You know, every book I've ever
chosen for an Oprah's Book Club

00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:06.790 align:middle line:84%
Selection, I've done with
care and with passion,

00:00:06.790 --> 00:00:10.290 align:middle line:84%
but I don't think that there
has ever been another pick that

00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:12.630 align:middle line:90%
has been as vital as this one.

00:00:12.630 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:90%
This book might well save us.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.600 align:middle line:84%
"Caste" by Isabel Wilkerson,
is a must read for humanity.

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.060 align:middle line:84%
It explains why we
are where we are

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:24.180 align:middle line:84%
in terms of racial
injustice and inequality.

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:26.880 align:middle line:84%
And so many aha moments,
your highlighter

00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:28.320 align:middle line:90%
is going to run out of ink.

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.140 align:middle line:84%
She says "Caste" is a
disease from which none of us

00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:34.020 align:middle line:84%
are immune, but we have a
moment now to rebuild a world

00:00:34.020 --> 00:00:35.580 align:middle line:90%
without a caste hierarchy.

00:00:35.580 --> 00:00:38.360 align:middle line:84%
A world in which all are
truly equal and free.

00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:40.440 align:middle line:84%
And I believe this
book shows us the way

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:43.890 align:middle line:84%
to that world, which is why it's
my new Oprah's Book Club pick.

00:00:43.890 --> 00:00:46.110 align:middle line:84%
"The full embrace
of all humanity

00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:50.190 align:middle line:84%
lifts the standard of any human
endeavor," Wilkerson writes.

00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:51.780 align:middle line:84%
And that's what I
want for us all.

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:55.710 align:middle line:84%
So download the book on
Apple Books right now,

00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:57.900 align:middle line:84%
