The Color of Love: A Mother's Choice in the Jim Crow South by Gene Cheek

5.0

i don't even know where to start about this book. we all know that things were different racially way back when. but i didn't realize that a white woman having a child with a black man was something that both could be jailed for; a felony. the things that gene and his mother went through were sad and wrong in so many ways. it was a really touching story and i really enjoyed reading it. i'm really glad that things have changed from the way they used to be. however, i still think we have a long way to go.
