HOPE IS NOT A BLACK AND WHITE RAINBOW by Harold Lea Brown
I believe “Hope is Not a Black and White Rainbow” speaks to a global shift that has been slowly transforming the makeup of individuals, families and communities, and the struggle to embrace a new world and release the old world beliefs and values that have outlived their usefulness. The story explores the growing global village of interracial/mixed heritage families and the blurred lines of long held beliefs that we live in a very black and white world. Racism is man-made, while a world rich in diversity is God-given, as is free-will—the ability to choose the kind of world we want to live in.
