Loving Across the Color Line

the long version

"This is the memoir of a mother and daughter's loving relationship that opened the author's eyes to the harsh realities of the American racial divide. Only by living with her daughter through day-to-day encounters and life passages did Rush learn that racism is far more devastating to Blacks than most Whites can ever imagine.". "Some of the stories are funny, others are sad, a few are almost unbelievable. But they all illustrate how insightful a little Black girl of three can be about race and justice. The stories also recount the author's struggle, as her daughter has matured, to come to grips with her own growing awareness of racism in America."--BOOK JACKET.
