If you read "John's Colorblind Journey," you can put yourself in his shoes and go through an unforgettable period in American history, he was born without a sense of color, so he never understood the idea of different races. He thought that relationship was about more than skin color, and this idea would change his life in ways he could never have imagined.

His story starts in 1969 in West Melbourne, Florida, when he was a sophomore in high school. At the time, America was going through a very big change. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 had just been signed into law, which was a turning point in the history of our country. It made it illegal to treat people differently because of their race, gender, sex, or country of birth, and it started to break down the long-standing system of division.

As he went through high school, he saw big changes around him. The voting Rights Act of 1965 aimed to make it easier for African Americans, especially in the South, to vote. The Fair Housing Act 1968 aimed to stop housing discrimination based on race. These were big steps forward for the Civil Rights Movement, and his own life happened at the same time as they happened.

As we go through this book together, he hopes his experiences and views will strike a chord with you and make you think about how long Americans have fought for equality and togetherness. "John's Colorblind Journey" is more than just his story; it shows how we all should have worked towards a more fair and open society.
