Reseña del libro "Complex Puzzle: Why Should Growing up be so Complexicated (en Inglés)"
Racial tensions have plagued the black community for decades. Black adults have expressed their dissatisfaction with the treatment of black Americans. This inhumane treatment, in cases, has led to the deaths of everyday black citizens as well as powerful black leaders such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As blacks suffered tremendously as slaves we continue to suffer even today as free people. Black adults have felt the impact of the color of their skin as they have been denied employment to high paying jobs, given a substandard education and are forced to live in inferior housing. While Black American Adults believe they have a good ideal of the world and how it impacts the black community the young Black teen is not so sure what to make of the turmoil. As a child growing up in Baltimore 1968 life was rough for 13-year-old Kimberly Carter.
