Summary:
"When Johnathan Harris was just eight years old, he and his brothers were roughed up and handcuffed by police officers. The experience left young Johnathan full of anger, suspicion, and hatred. As Johnathan tells us in Colorblind, his family—especially his incarcerated uncle—helped him overcome his own prejudices by teaching him about great leaders in African American culture—Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Jackie Robinson. Only by following their examples could he at last truly break free of the restraints o racism. His story is one of hope and optimism that all, young and old, should read."--Page [4] of cover.
