Face It, You're Black! by Mike Enrico

Long before buzzwords such as multicultural and biracial arrived on the scene, the Jim Crow era "One-Drop Rule" determined who was colored in America. Mike Enrico spent the first 23 years of his life in Hobart, Indiana, as its only black resident. While most of his peers took their ethnicity for granted, Mike had to come up with explanations for his appearance, for being adopted, as well as answers to the often asked question: "What are you?" Face It, You're Black! will appeal to anyone struggling to blend into a color-obsessed society and to baby boomers fed up with out of control political correctness.
