Black & White by iam_zeze

As Ayize, a black girl from Soweto, and Norman, a white boy, navigate the dangerous waters of their interracial relationship in apartheid South Africa, they face brutal consequences of their love. Will their story survive in a society built on racial division? "Why are you in love with me?" Ayize asks, torn between the love she feels and the dangers it brings. "I'm black and you're white. Norman, this is against the law." But for Norman, the boundaries drawn by apartheid are nothing compared to the depth of his feelings. "I don't see color, Ayize. If it's against the law, then why does it feel so right?" In a country where interracial love is a crime, Black & White is a powerful tale of courage and resistance in the face of overwhelming odds. #1 in Apartheid - 31/08/2024

we all bleed red by blackyii

"I was born on June 22nd, 1947 on the wet warm soil of Anniston, Alabama. Where the climate was equivalent to a steaming pot on a stove." ... "Alabama a South state that was segregated while I was being called a gentleman..." ... "You have to break train tracks, to form a way to justice..." .... I scan her face she looks about the same age as me, plus her fingers had blisters and spicy marks on them. I squint my eyes from the blazing sun picking a dandelion embedded into the soil feeling the slimy texture of the stem on my fingers. "You're playing with dandelions, huh?" ... A story that tells about a boy who grew up in the South witnessing the cruelty of his friends. Having to witness society on the injustices of people who doesn't look like him. A girl who's unable to go anywhere she pleases, facing the mistreatment of people who doesn't look like herself. Until they met each other... Note: There are grammar errors in this book. I'm too lazy to fix them so read it if you want. Hope you enjoy it <3.
