Colored Boy: Life Through Colored Eyes--Poems and One Act Plays Growing Up "Colored"

By Carlo Orto

This remarkable collection of poems and one-act plays describes growing up "colored" in America from the 1950s. They come from an America that no longer exists, yet one that was born out of that time. Though these events are seen through "colored eyes", the lessons they teach are universal for all humanity. This work touches on various American experiences such as the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic, LGBTQ+, White, Native American, Soldiers at war and others. There are many forgotten histories and heroes in this work. It is hoped that it will bring the reader to rediscover what our challenges were, who our heroes were, and what truly makes humanity great. The work contains feelings of fear and courage, hate and love, confusion and clarity, as all were present during those times. It is hoped that the reader takes away the courage, the love, the clarity in finding solutions for our present challenges.
