I read a book recently about a white skinned black woman in the south and was blown away by what I learned from it. I grew up during the 60s turmoil and couldn't believe the evils of racism. It's no wonder there is so much hatred. Love is a necessity to happiness. Thank goodness this amazing black women knew how to love. West coast living was so different from the South. This is an amazing work even if it is fiction. It still is filled with a lot of truths.
