A Story That Moves Beyond Survival

Simpson trial verdict. Surrounded by a crowd, he experienced the sting of racist judgment as the verdict was announced. This moment shattered his brief sense of belonging and marked a turning point in his understanding of society's deep-seated racism.

By fostering empathy and sparking vital conversations about race, identity, and systemic injustice, Scheinwynn delivers a powerful call to action, inspiring readers to confront their shared humanity and embrace radical empathy.
