In the so-called "melting pot" of America, it's ironic that the racial divide is country is so strong.

For Muslims, we are encouraged to know one another, no matter what our ethnic or racial backgrounds. One of the first steps in doing this in the spirit of the true "melting pot" is to understand how the other one feels and sees the world.

Apart from direct communication and contact, one way to start is by reading books and watching documentaries about this. Here is a selected list. It's not comprehensive, but it will help, Insha Allah.
