Children of the Dream by Laurel Holliday

Martin Luther King, Jr., dreamed of a day when black children were judged not by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character. His eloquent charge became the single greatest inspiration for the achievement of racial justice in America. In her powerful book in the Children of Conflict series, Laurel Holliday explores how far we have come as she presents thirty-eight African-Americans who share their experiences. The unforgettable people we hear from are young and old, rich and poor, from inner cities, suburbia, and rural America. In chronicles that are highly personal, funny, tragic, and triumphant, the contributors tell what it is like coming of age stigmatised by the colour of their skin, yet proud of their heritage and culture.
Laurel Holliday has a private psychotherapy practice in Seattle, USA.
