About Quote by Soledad O'Brien

“It is truly not fun to be the family that sticks out in an all-white community. On the other side, I have five brothers and sisters; we all look exactly the same, and we're very, very tight. The lessons about race were not pleasant, but there are things that I loved about my childhood.” quote by Soledad O'Brien — Download Open image
