“Illumination is as beautiful and moving an anthology as I have ever encountered. In poems and prose, in paintings and photos, it contains the stories, testimonies and images of what actually makes America great—our diversity of voices, our love for our families, our neighbors and our communities, the ways we overcome prejudice and hate. In these troubled times, this essential anthology will give you hope and courage. “ —David Mura, author of The Last Incantations and The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself: Racial Myths and Our American
