Blinded By Colors

• This book is about a story of kindness, conflict,
  and racism. It takes place in Mayfield, South
  Carolina. A young girl named Lynn finally finds a
  true friend. The problem is hes white. His
  father forbids him to see Lynn because he doesnt
  believe in a friendship like that. Back then they
  still separated blacks from whites at times.
  Thats why they say blinded by colors. When Lynn
  and other black folks show kindness to their
  neighbors, they are helping uncover the
  blindness. I was so overwhelmed when I finished
  this book. Not only because my favorite teacher
  wrote it, but because its over. Now not only do
  I have black friends, but white ones too. I dont
  care what anyone says theyll be my friends until
  the end!
