In 1969, when Tony Carr was in the fourth grade, he was taken from his mixed-raceschool and transferred to a different, predominantly-white school. He didn’t realize it atthe time, but he was on the front lines of a historic event, an entire generation taking thefirst faltering steps in the nation’s march toward racial equality.Since that time, society has made strides toward integration and coexistence. Programswere created to give minorities equal access to education and jobs. African-Americansbegan playing major roles in national politics, sports, and entertainment; televisionprograms began to show interracial dating and black people in powerful positions.Much has changed since 1969.But, as Carr has experienced firsthand, many things have not changed, and ournational journey toward equality and acceptance is far from over. Carr has lived to witnesshis father respond submissively to a verbally abusive young white man in front of hisfamily-and he lived to learn his father’s reasons for doing so when he was in a similarsituation with his family, understanding then that the safety of his loved ones was worthany price.Through his black memorabilia collections, classes, and community involvement,Carr has discovered that what goes around comes around. Time Bring About a Changebrings us the story of how one man has dedicated his life to raising awareness that coloris, truly, just a color, and that the true worth of a person is found in the respect, love, andcaring that person shows to all around.'Things may not happen when you wantthem to, but through God they alwayshappen on time.' - T o n y ’ s M other
