From the award-winning author of the Children of Conflict series comes a powerful collection of thirty-eight men and women sharing their experiences on what it was like growing up as a person of color in a time of racial injustice. I was brought up with white Barbie dolls of impossible proportions and long silky blonde hair-neither of which I possessed. As a child I believed what I was taught, and I wasn't taught to love myself for who I am-an African American.

From the award-winning author of the Children of Conflict series comes a powerful collection of thirty-eight men and women sharing their experiences on what it was like growing up as a person of color in a time of racial injustice. I was brought up with white Barbie dolls of impossible proportions and long silky blonde hair-neither of which I possessed. As a child I believed what I was taught, and I wasn't taught to love myself for who I am-an African American. Martin Luther King, Jr., dreamed of a day when black children were judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. His eloquent charge became the single greatest inspiration for the achievement of racial justice in America. In her powerful fourth book in the Children of Conflict series, Laurel Holliday explores how far we have come as she presents thirty-eight people from the Black community who share their experiences as Children of the Dream. The unforgettable people we hear from are young and old, rich and poor, from inner cities, suburbia, and rural America. In chronicles that are highly personal, funny, tragic, and triumphant, the contributors tell us what it is like coming of age stigmatized by the color of their skin, yet proud of their heritage and culture. Their voices, their courage, their resilience, and their understanding offer hope for us all.
