The series arrives at a time when race relations are particularly divisive and a looming part of the national conversation. As "Show Me a Hero" debuts Sunday, local representatives are using it as an example of problems that still exist 30 years later, reports The New York Times.

"Show Me A Hero" originally was a book written by Dobbs Ferry native Lisa Belkin as covered in The Daily Voice last month.
