The Color of Character

By: Glen Shuld

Narrated by: Peter Lerman

He was raised in a liberal Jewish home with a strong emphasis on civil rights and social justice. So to Glen Feigman, there was no question that Dr. King's speech would be the catalyst for a brighter future; one in which children would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Now, in the year 2011, Glen is an out gay man living in the city of Chicago. But when he, along with his elderly mother, witnesses one of many violent attacks plaguing his hometown, he begins reflecting on his past and childhood; questioning everything he thought he knew about race, character, and the true nature of acceptance. Glen traces the influence of racial tension and pervasive prejudices throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 2000s, including a shocking event that would forever change the way he viewed race relations. With eye-opening honesty and candor, The Color of Character is a coming-of-age tale that raises questions about the true state of race relations in America today.
