Norris, host of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," set out to write a book about "the hidden conversation on race" and in doing so unearthed painful family secrets--from her father's shooting by the Birmingham police within weeks of his discharge from service in World War II to her grandmother's peddling pancake mix as an itinerant Aunt Jemima.
