Black Is a Rainbow Color
Angela Joy
A young girl begins by noticing that black is absent from the colors of a rainbow. Her attention moves from ordinary black objects, such as a crayon, braid, and bicycle tires, to references from African American culture and history. An author’s note explains the historical and cultural allusions, while a timeline traces changing terms for Black people and the significance of capitalizing Black.
