Professor's Patterson's "The Ordeal of Integration" is the best review and analysis available of progress in racial relations in the United States since the end of World War II. He recognizes the extraordinary progress that has been made in a remarkably short period of time, while also identifying the many things remaining to be accomplished and the various barriers to making additional progress. Any one concerned with the status of racial relations in the USA today should read this book.
