Highly recommend.''SIS is trying to create bridges, not only to each other, but hopefully to our society.''The stories will both break your heart and fill you with hope for the future.''The Black American story as a group is an American story woven into the fabric of America.''What truly stands out is the book’s ability to gently push each reader to embrace kindness, empathy, and   respect for everyone they encounter.'Where Colors Meet is a compelling anthology that delves deep into the complex themes of race relations, equality, and social justice.

All I can say is that it was GRIPPING...from the first page I was grabbed and then the stories that followed, one after another captivated me - and kept building. I think what made it so powerful was the stories are side by side. Victoria Christopher Murray Co-Author of The Personal Librarian and The First LadiesVirtually since the country’s inception, U.S. citizens have been told they are overdue for a national ’conversation about race’ which somehow never seems to happen. In the meantime, and over a silence spanning centuries, racial atrocities continue to accumulate. This anthology speaks back to a nation’s willful disavowal from the local level. In these pages, a remarkable collective of women confront difficult truths about how race is experienced in hopes of transcending our ongoing racial nightmare. With stories both intimate and resonant, these authors write to advance the dream of transracial democracy. P.J. Brendese Associate Professor of Political Theory, Johns Hopkins University Author, Segregated TimeThe model of SIS is an inspiring example of bringing diverse people together. It underscores the reality that as we get to know one another and become friends, racism and prejudice organically melt away and, one heart at a time, will lead to change in the world.       Jacquie Latzer, Co-chair, Diversity Committee, Lake/Sumter Branch AAUW
