What is Man's Most Dangerous Myth: The Fallacy of Race: The Fallacy of Race about?

<p>Man's Most Dangerous Myth was first published in 1942, when Nazism flourished, when African Americans sat at the back of the bus, and when race was considered the determinant of people's character and intelligence.
