Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Place Called the Colored Car tells the story of Sam, a bright, happy, 10-year-old boy and his epic train ride from Memphis, Tennessee to Chicago, Illinois in the mid-1950s. Sam was born and raised in Memphis, and lived with his mother, Ruth, his grandmother, Beth and his grandfather, Elijah.The racial injustices experienced on that trip were so horrible and so alarming that even through a child's eyes can see, feel, hear, taste, smell and cry for what people had to endure simply because God blessed them with dark skin. We witness human beings being treated less than our worst imaginable nightmares. The book forces the question we should all ask: "How Could We?"
