Status: Short(ish) story
Colour My World
1966: a tumultuous time between those of Color and Whites. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination of all kinds based on race, color, religion, or national origin, not all states use their right to enforce desegregation.
Mixed-race couples are an abomination, for their love can not possibly be pure. Could it? Yet she loved him and he loved her. How could something so good, be considered a crime? How could something you where ready to risk it all for, be considered sick and foul?
Smack in the middle of this; they fight for each other and for freedom.
Based on the first episode of American Horror Story, season two
(Disclaimer: No horror, only history).
