Dividing Lines: Desegregation of California Public Schools
What an honor that The USC Price School of Public Policy would take interest in The Kindness of Color!

A True Story of Families Fighting Racism
The Sansei author describes the book as “the true story of two immigrant families who came to Southern California for better lives, only to face their own separate battles against racism in the midst of World War II. One family came by land from Mexico and the other by sea from Japan.

Board of Education (1954).
