Colorblind: A Story of Racism by Johnathan Harris

4.0

I hate the word ‘colorblind’. To me, it implies that you truly aren’t seeing a person. You’re seeing past them. They’re invisible. You’re silencing them. People need to be seen. And they definitely need to be heard. The color of someone’s skin is a part of them just as their life experiences, culture, language, perspectives, and much more are. We need to see and accept people for who they are as a whole, and not just parts of them. Colorblind is Jonathan’s story and how he dealt with racism growing up — from his family being wrongfully cuffed to bullying on the soccer field. This book opens up conversation about racism and what we can do to combat it.
