When We Were Colored: A Mother's Story

When We Were Colored: A Mother's Story Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Eva Rutland, author of more than 20 novels, presents the timely and relevant story, first published in 1964, of her life in the years before integration, before affirmative action--when segregation was the norm, discrimination was legally tolerated, and blacks were second-class citizens (from the introduction). Her story is poignant at times, uproariously funny at others, and always down-to-earth.

Eva Rutland is amazing! This book reflects her wisdom, insight, and courage in a delightful way that challenges everyone to rise above the realities of his/her lives and reach higher without stepping on others in the process. Mrs. Rutland gives us a roadmap for life in which we can laugh, love, learn, and teach others to do the same. What a lovely book.
