Mama, Why am I Black?

Five-year-old Iskinder is afraid that he will be hated and discriminated against as he sees on the nightly news with his parents. His Mom is a wise woman who nows what to say when he asks the crucial question, “Mama, Why Am I Black not white like you?”

Sarah is from Eastern Europe and has strawberry-red hair blue eyes and white skin; his father is from Africa, Ethiopia with dark skin, wavy hair with hazel eyes. Sarah has a strong sense of self and understands the histories of multiracial figures.  She replied:

“Iskinder, you were created from the best of your mother and father this is why you have beautiful red hair and blue eyes like me, and beautiful dark skin with wavy hair like your father; but most important this is why you are so handsome and smart”

She teaches her son about who his mother and Father are and how to be proud of who he is. Sara introduces Iskinder to the history of Mosses leading the Jewish people out of bondage to King David, and King Solomon and continuing to the American Civil War, women's Suffrage, and the Civil Rights movement of 1960 with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This will be a battle that we must always carry on otherwise we may lose freedom and equality.

The Message:  Always be proud of who you are and what you are
