Civil rights legend Ruby Sales learned to ask \u201cWhere does it hurt?\u201d because it\u2019s a question that drives to the heart of the matter \u2014 and a question we scarcely know how to ask in public life now. Sales says we must be as clear about what we love as about what we hate if we want to make change. And even as she unsettles some of what we think we know about the force of religion in civil rights history, she names a \u201cspiritual crisis of white America\u201d as a calling of today.
