Stars and Shadows by Saladin Ambar6/28/2023 ![]() Stars and Shadows-which takes its name from Huckleberry Finn-provides a unique and rigorous assessment of two centuries of noteworthy interracial friendships that each serve as a window into the state, at the time, of American race relations-and, as Ambar shows, as models for advancing racial equality.
