About this ebook
If you're white
you're all right;
If you're brown
stick around;
If you're black
stay back.

This was the prevailing poem we all heard and repeated at each other when I was growing up.
My hope is that this book will recant and perhaps replace this.
African
Americans
Have the richest
Array of skin colors
you could ever see; as
do some other groups too!
Look around.
What do you see? . . . .
Wherever you go proud colors—
From white to midnight,
surround us—like
Living rainbows!
