Understanding That's the Way of the World requires appreciating founder Maurice White’s multifaceted vision for Earth Wind & Fire. This vision embodied innovative melodies, sounds, lyrics, and orchestral arrangements manifested by a creative ensemble who were encouraged to embrace their diverse spiritualities, eat healthy, and live right (although not always successful).

Lund shows why it is important to keep talking and thinking about whitene
